“For more than 150 days, not a single truck of UNRWA Was authorized to deliver food, medication or other essential elements to Gaza, “said the agency on Friday. »»This denial of access costs lives every day. “”
Nearly 100 died malnutrition children
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, quoted by the UN, at least 61,158 Palestinians have been killed and more than 151,000 injured since October, in the middle of the implacable Israeli bombing and ground operations.
UNRWA said nearly 350 of its own employees have been one of the dead since Israel’s military operation in Gaza began following the terrorist attacks led by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
Many civilians were killed during the shelter in schools or tents, or during the queue for food.
Food insecurity is now acute. The United Nations shows that 193 people – including 96 children – have died of malnutrition since the beginning of August, July, the highest monthly rate of acute malnutrition recorded in children under the age of five.
Output price
The prices of wheat flour have climbed up to 15,000% compared to pre-war levels. “Supported and large -scale deliveries are the only way to stabilize food supplies and prices,” said UNRWA.
Health services are close to collapse. More than half of the essential medical supplies are already out of stock and hospitals have been forced to ration the fuel for generators. UNRWA teams have nevertheless achieved more than 1.5 million health consultations since March, but “without replenishment, our ability to save lives decreases,” warned the agency.
Large displacement scale
The trip is on a large scale: 1.9 million people – around 90% of the Gaza population – were forced from their home, many on several occasions. Nearly 100,000 are piled up in more than 60 shelters led by a UNRWA.
In northern West Bank occupied by Israeli, around 30,000 people from NUR Shams refugee camps, Tulkarm and Jenin remain unable to return home due to the military operation of the Israel “iron wall”, in progress since January.
The agency has urged immediate and unhindered humanitarian access. “” We need the world to act – to open up crossings, stop suffering and maintain the most fundamental principles of humanity“He said.
The UN Security advice should meet in New York in emergency session on Sunday morning, the local time to discuss the approval by the Israeli cabinet of a military control of Gaza City which houses around a million Palestinians.
