The UN Relief and Engineering Agency in the Near East said it could not distribute basic food supplies in the Gaza Strip due to Israel’s ongoing blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
“There are now more than 50 days of people not entering the Gaza Strip’s humanitarian aid and supplies…the Israeli authorities have imposed a siege,” the agency said in a statement released Thursday.
“So critical humanitarian supplies, including food, fuel medical assistance and children’s vaccines, are being consumed rapidly,” it said.
The agency stressed that its flour supply had run out and only 250 food parcels left – containing rice, lentils, beans, oil, salt, sugar, sugar, milk powder, hummus, Halawa/Halawa/Halva, Halawa/halva, yeast and canned fish – designed to meet the needs of five families for two weeks.
North Apartment Commissioner Philippe Lazzarini said on Tuesday that nearly 3,000 trucks were ready to provide critical humanitarian assistance to Gaza. However, according to the UNRWC, the Israeli military has blocked all cargoes.
“Hunger is spreading and deepening, intentionally and artificially.” He described Gaza as a “land of despair.”
The World Food Program reported that food prices soared as much as 700% compared to before the Gaza War.
The final ceasefire phase between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas ended a month ago. The Israeli armed forces then resumed their attacks in the Gaza Strip.
According to the United Nations, at least 1.9 million people (about 90% of Gaza’s population) have been displaced and have been displaced several times.
Israel said that in the unprecedented attack on October 7, 2023, 24 people in Gaza were still held in Gaza, about 1,200 people were killed in the Israeli community, more than 250 Israelis were killed, and 35 people kidnapped by Hamas terrorists were kidnapped.
More than 51,300 people have been killed since then, according to Hamas Control Health Administration in the Gaza Strip. These figures do not distinguish between civilians and radical deaths.
