famine warnings
In a related development, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that more than 2,700 children under the age of five in the Gaza Strip have suffered from severe malnutrition, that only one medical point is partially operating in the northern Gaza Strip, and that fuel supplies are critically low.
For its part, the World Food Programme stated that since May 19, it has been able to bring only limited quantities of life-saving aid into Gaza. It added, "Since the resumption of aid, we have brought in only 700 trucks, compared to the 600 to 700 trucks that used to enter daily. To ward off famine, we need to support the people of Gaza on a regular basis by meeting their basic food needs."
He continued, "The fear of famine within the Gaza Strip remains extremely high. Ensuring aid entry requires providing safe routes for convoys, expediting permit approvals, and opening the crossings."
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it. The genocide has left approximately 182,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them women and children, and more than 11,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced, and famine has claimed the lives of many, including children, as well as widespread destruction.
