It is according to the Office for the Coordination of United Nations Humanitarian Aid, OchhaAnd UN partners working to provide vital support to civilians in the face of the continuation of Israeli restrictions for help.
The closure of nutrition services in the Gaza governorate is hampering efforts to detect new victims of famine and to maintain treatment for hundreds of children, UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric in New York said on Monday.
More than 160 deaths due to famine
“On Friday, the Ministry of Health said that 162 people-including 32 children-have died of famine and malnutrition since confirmation of famine,” he said.
While Israeli military operations continued through the strip, the Palestinian civil defense teams said that in the last 10 days, they have carried out more than 50 rescue or recovery missions.
“Health services are also subject to high pressure,” said Dujarric. “Today, the Gaza Ministry of Health has called on people to give blood in the midst of serious shortages in hospitals.”
He stressed once again that no civilian should never be targeted and that the civil infrastructure should always be protected.
Crowded beaches, sleeping in the open air
The growing number of civilians being forced to go south by Israel’s large -scale offensive to combat Gaza City control exerts increasing pressure on the services already tense available to Khan Younis and Deir Al Balah, where conditions are disastrous, said Dujarric.
Tens of thousands of people must sneak in tents along the beach or pile up in school shelters, while others “sleep in the open air on the rubble of buildings and destroyed houses”.
The UN continues to serve people in need, as much as possible: Monday, seven of the 12 humanitarian missions coordinated with the Israeli authorities were facilitated. While the UN teams have managed to collect Kerem Shalom health supplies. Two other missions to recover food freight have been refused.
