International institutions express grave concern over ‘unbearable’ situation in Gaza

The world⁣ Food Programme, ⁣Save the Children, UNRWA, and Oxfam have expressed deep concern over the unbearable conditions⁣ in ‍Gaza.

According to​ webangah News Agency, ⁣the world Food Programme stated in a declaration that 100% of Gaza’s ⁢population now suffers from ⁣severe food insecurity.

The agency reported ‌that over 70,000 children in Gaza require immediate treatment for acute malnutrition. Every⁤ family​ struggles to secure their next meal.

Save the Children ⁢ declared that‌ Gazan‌ children ⁤”wish for death,” with their living ⁣conditions being indescribable. The‍ association urged the UK​ government to halt all weapons transfers to occupied territories.

UNRWA ‍Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini confirmed no humanitarian aid has reached Gaza for more than three months. He warned ⁤that civilian suffering ⁤grows “more unbearable daily,” stressing that⁤ UN⁢ agencies ‌like UNRWA remain the​ only secure channel for aid delivery.

Oxfam’s policy⁤ director for Palestinian territories, ​Bushra Khalidi, told Al‍ Jazeera that humanitarian assistance‍ must be distributed exclusively thru international bodies. She refuted Israeli claims about aid distribution difficulties: ‌”We proved it’s possible during the ceasefire.” Khalidi condemned Israel’s ‌blockade as “a deliberate starvation strategy unrelated to warfare.”

A​ UNICEF spokesperson in Palestine warned of collapsing⁣ healthcare systems endangering thousands​ of children. ⁤ Tarek Abu Khleif revealed unprecedented child mortality rates:

  • 27 children killed daily on average since​ October⁣ 7, 2023
  • 83 total daily child casualties (including injuries)
  • >40,000 newly orphaned ​children (rising continuously)

“Children bear war’s heaviest ⁢burden,” Abu Khleif stated, noting⁢ tens of ⁤thousands require urgent ⁤malnutrition treatment.He emphasized ⁢psychological ‌trauma⁤ will require years ⁣of recovery beyond physical wounds.
