UNICEF: Israel Blocks Medicine Entry into Gaza

The‌ English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency, reported that UNICEF’s spokesperson in‌ Palestine told Al Jazeera that⁢ distributing humanitarian aid in Gaza ​faces serious challenges. Nutritional supplements arrive in very limited quantities and ⁤onyl under pressure‌ from the international community.

The spokesperson added that obtaining permits to ⁣bring aid ⁣into Gaza has become a real hurdle. Israel continues to⁤ ban many medicines, claiming they are non-essential.

The UNICEF ‌representative asserted that the international ​community​ must move ⁢beyond mere condemnation​ and take concrete, effective action.

Meanwhile, Philippe Lazzarini, ⁢Commissioner of ‌UNRWA,‌ warned there​ is no safe place ‌in Gaza and no one⁤ is secure; there‌ is no ⁣justification ⁤for widespread ⁢attacks on⁢ Palestinian lives and identity.⁣ Health ‌workers, journalists, and aid personnel have ⁣been killed at unprecedented rates unmatched by any modern​ conflict.

He further stated that hunger threatens everyone living in gaza-either‌ with ⁤slow,silent death or⁤ desperate ​searches for food. Hospitals, schools, shelters, and homes ​are attacked daily as the humanitarian situation deteriorates rapidly.
