One in five children in Gaza City suffers from malnutrition, the United Nations Agency for aid says

The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNA) says that one out of every five children in Gaza City suffers from malnutrition and issues every day.

In a statement issued on Thursday, UNRWA Commissioner -General Philip Lazarini was killed as a colleague, who told him: “People in Gaza are neither dead nor alive, they are walking bodies.”

More than 100 International Relief Organization and human rights groups have warned of collective hunger – which presses governments to take action.

Israel, which controls the entry of all supplies to Gaza, says there is no siege and blame for Hamas in any malnutrition.

However, the United Nations warned that the level of aid in Gaza is a “link” and that the hunger crisis in the region “was never very bitter.”

In his statement on Thursday, Lazarini said, “More than 100 people, the vast majority of them, died due to hunger.”

“Most of the children whom our teams see meager, weak and at risk of death if they do not get the treatment they need urgently,” he said, and he is wearing Israel, “allowing humanitarian partners to provide unrestricted and uninterrupted humanitarian assistance to Gaza.”

UNRWA workers “grow up hunger during work,” said Lazzarini, who added: “When those in charge of care cannot eat enough to eat, the entire human system collapses.”

On Wednesday, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that a large percentage of Gaza population was “starved.”

“I do not know what you call other than comprehensive hunger – it is man -made,” said the head of the World Health Organization.

In northern Gaza, Hana Al -Muddar said 40, that local markets are often without food and other supplies.

“If it exists, they come at high prices that no ordinary person can bear,” she told the BBC on WhatsApp.

She said that the flour was expensive and difficult to secure, and that people sold “gold and personal property” to bear.

“Every new day brings a new challenge,” said the three mother.

“With my eyes, I saw children wandering in the garbage in search of food scraps,” she added.

During a visit to the Israeli forces in Gaza on Wednesday, the President of Israel, Isaac Herzog, insisted that his country provides humanitarian aid “according to international law.”

But Tahni Tahda, a relief worker in Gaza, said that people “are only trying to survive around the clock.”

“Even simple things such as cooking (and) shower has become luxuries,” she said.

“I have an eight -month -old child. He does not know what fresh fruit tastes,” she added.

Israel stopped handing over aid to Gaza in early March after a two -month ceasefire. The siege was partially reduced after nearly two months, but the lack of food, fuel and medicine exacerbated.

Israel has created, with the United States, a new aid system run by the Gaza Humanitarian Corporation (GHF).

According to the United Nations Human Rights Office, more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army while trying to obtain food assistance in the past two months.

It says at least 766 of them were killed near one of the four distribution centers in GHF, which is being operated by American American security contractors and is located inside the Israeli military areas.

288 people were reported killed near the United Nations and other aid convoys.

Israel accused Hamas of inciting chaos near the relief sites. She says that her forces only fired warning footage and that they did not intentionally shoot civilians.

GHF says that the United Nations uses “FALSE” figures from the Hamas Ministry of Health in Gaza.

Najah, a 19 -year -old widow in a hospital in Gaza, said that she is afraid that she will “shoot” if she travels to help the distribution site.

“I hope they will bring us something that we eat and drink. We die from hunger without anything that we eat or drink. We live in tents. We have finished,” Najah told the BBC.

A doctor working in Gaza with a medical charity in the United Kingdom, Dr. Aseel, said that Gaza was not close to starvation, but it is already “living it.”

She said: “My husband went once (to the aid distribution point) and twice, then he was shot and was.”

“If we want to die of hunger, let it be. The way to help is the way to death.”

Abu Alaa, the market seller in Gaza, said that he and his children “go to bed hungry every night.”

“We are not alive. We have died. We are expanding the whole world to intervene and save us,” he added.

Walla Fathi, who is eight -year -old with her third child, said that Ghazan “suffers from a catastrophe and famine that no one imagined.”

“I hope that my child will remain in my mercy and I have no fatwa in these difficult circumstances.”.
