Half the population of the Gaza Strip “suffers from catastrophic levels of food insecurity”, and tens of thousands of Palestinian families “eat only bread every two days”, the UN agency said on Thursday United Nations for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA).
Adnan Abu Hasna, UNRWA Media Advisor.
The official specified that “groups of people aged sixty to less than five years suffer from acute malnutrition”, stressing that “newborns in the Gaza Strip will suffer in the future from short stature and underweight”.
He also warned that “the coming period will witness a whole generation of physical malformations” due to the barbaric Zionist aggression underway in Gaza since October 7, 2023.
And to continue: “food insecurity (in Gaza) has caused the population of the enclave to lose immunity against diseases”.
In this context, the spokesperson clarified that “due to food insecurity, there is also a wide spread of hepatitis, and intestinal diseases, as well as diseases that did not previously exist in the strip of Gaza.”
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening day by day, the Siinist occupation army, which flouts all international laws and conventions, targets rescuers in order to prevent them from saving the victims of the bombings. In this sense, the British charity, Medical Aid for Palestinians, denounced the martyrdom of 500 health professionals since the start of the deadly aggression against Gaza.
“500 health workers have been killed in Gaza since the start of the Zionist military attack in October. This equates to an average of two health workers killed every day, and one in 40 health workers, or 2.5% of Gaza’s healthcare workforce, is now dead,” the British charity said in a statement yesterday.
“More health workers have been killed in Gaza since October than would have been killed in all global conflicts in 2021 and 2022 combined,” the statement said.
“These killings took place against the backdrop of systematic attacks on hospitals and other medical facilities in violation of the laws of war,” the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights said in a statement on Tuesday.
According to the UN, the Zionist entity carries out “systematic attacks” against hospitals in Gaza.
To face this incredible barbarity of the Israelis, the Palestinian resistance movements are carrying out attacks and setting up ambushes against the Zionist forces leading the offensive in the Palestinian enclave.
