Palestinians are “walking corpses” said, and UN says Stamer calls hunger “unspeakable and indescribable”

A UN official said on Thursday that Palestinians began to resemble “walking bodies” as Sir Kyle Starmer called hunger “unspeakable and irrefutable” in the Gaza Strip.

Philippe Lazzarini, head of UNRWA relief agency, said humanitarian workers in the territory saw children who were “skinny, weak and high-risk deaths” without emergency treatment.

The Prime Minister will hold an emergency call with France and Germany on Friday to promote aid and ceasefire. “We have witnessed humanitarian disasters,” he said. “The suffering and hunger in Gaza are indescribable and irrefutable. Although the situation has been severe for some time, it has reached new depths and continues to deteriorate.”

Sir Kyle’s comment came just after French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France would recognize the Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September.

According to reports, the number of people starving in Gaza has increased dramatically in recent days. Most of the 113 hunger-related deaths recorded so far have occurred in recent weeks, with 82 deaths being children, according to Palestinian health officials.

Israel has imposed large restrictions on the amount of food and aid allowed to enter the territory, limiting aid to a few trucks every day after the 11-week lockdown earlier this year. UN officials said that aid will be delivered to the sea compared to the required aid.

Sir Kyle said: “We all agree with Israel’s urgent need to change its route and allow urgently needed aid to enter Gaza without delay.”

Mr Lazzarini said a North Current Affairs worker described the people in Gaza as “neither dead nor alive – they were walking bodies”. He said the agency has 6,000 loaded food and medical supplies trucks in Jordan and Egypt and has not yet been allowed to enter the territory.

“Families are no longer coping: they are collapsing and cannot survive. Their existence is under threat,” he said.

Israeli forces killed hundreds of Palestinians trying to get food from a limited number of AIDS trucks. The killings were widely condemned, including many of Israel’s own allies.

Palestinians living in Gaza said they were forced to swap personal belongings, such as gold jewelry, for flour, as they asked more than 100 human rights groups and charities to allow more aid in a letter Wednesday.

“We live in hunger and everyday suffering because prices have risen in a crazy way that Gaza citizens, whether hiring or unemployed, cannot bear in an incomprehensible way.”

He told independentHe said lamenting the high price of flour, which he said has ranged from 35 shekels (£7.74) to a maximum of 180 shekels (£39.80) per kilogram.

Mr Najjar said a quarter of his weight – from 85 kg to 62 kg – said he couldn’t eat himself. “So what about the kids who need food more than three times a day?” he said.

Meanwhile, major broadcasters and news organizations, including the BBC and Reuters, issued a joint statement saying their journalists on the ground in Gaza are also facing a “threat of hunger.”

“We care so much about our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to support themselves and their families,” it wrote. “For many months, these independent journalists have been the eyes and ears of the world on the ground of Gaza. They are now facing the same horrible situation as the ones covered.

“The reporter endured a lot of deprivation and hardship in the war zone. We are deeply shocked to say that the threat of hunger is now one of them.”

Prices continue to rise, with food scarcity rates in the Gaza Strip soaring to unprecedented levels, with 21 destructive Israeli invasions and bombings, Palestinian health officials said more than 60,000 people were killed.

The war and invasion began on October 7, 2023 in response to the attacks committed by Hamas militants in Israel, killing 1,200 people and capturing at least 250 hostages.

Ihab Abdullah, a 43-year-old university lecturer who is a breadwinner for nine family members, said he would go to bed every night before going to bed, and asked, “How will I provide my kids today? I can endure hunger, but what about my kids?”

“We are no longer able to buy or find food in the market. We live in hunger every day because the goods that we need most, flour, are not in sufficient quantities. We are in a situation where we cannot buy food, and we cannot buy even if we have money.

Younis Abu Odeh, 32, who was displaced in Gaza, said he felt that Palestinians were “sent into a chicken farm and starved to death”.

Odeh lives against extinction, famine and psychological warfare. ” independent. “A war of displacement, a war of tent, a war of heat and sunshine.”

The Israeli government insists that this will not cause famine. Spokesman David Mencer said the “artificial shortage” of food was “designed by Hamas.”

Mr Mensel said Wednesday that between July 19 and 22, 4,400 AIDS trucks entered Gaza, which contained food, flour and baby food.

The deepening crisis is because Hamas’ new response to the truce and hostage deal is new after Israel brought home its delegation from the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza.

The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office thanked the mediators for their efforts and said negotiators were returning home to “more consultation.” It said earlier that Israel was reviewing Hamas’ reaction.

Sir Kyle said in a statement: “It is difficult to see a hopeful future in such a dark time. But I must reiterate my appeal to the parties to conduct an immediate ceasefire with sincerity and speed, while Hamas unconditionally releases all hostages.

“We are well aware that democratic status is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people. A ceasefire will put us on the path of recognition of the Palestinian state and the bilateral solution, which guarantees peace and security for the Palestinians and Israelis.”
