3,500 children are at risk of death
In addition to the violent Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip, the worsening famine among Palestinians, especially children, worsens the humanitarian situation in Gaza. In this regard, the government media office said, in a statement on Tuesday, that Gaza “is rapidly heading towards famine, and the (Israeli) occupation and the American administration are leading a conspiracy to prevent aid and goods from reaching our people, and we demand immediate and urgent international intervention to stop this crime.”
The office warned that "3,500 children are at risk of death due to malnutrition and the lack of nutritional supplements and vaccinations, which have become prohibited from entering the Gaza Strip." He explained that "the crime of preventing the entry of aid and food as a tool for political pressure by the occupation and the American administration has significantly doubled the suffering in all governorates of the Gaza Strip. Even markets and shops are suffering from a drought of goods and commodities."
He also called on "the international community and international and international organizations to stand up to their responsibilities and take a courageous stance by imposing immediate and urgent international intervention to stop this crime, which will kill hundreds of thousands of civilians, children and patients."
He called for "opening the Rafah crossing and Kerem Shalom crossing (south), bringing in aid and goods, and ending the ongoing genocidal war for the ninth month in a row."
On May 7, the Israeli army took control of the Rafah crossing, a day after Tel Aviv announced the start of a military operation in the city crowded with displaced people, which exacerbated the humanitarian situation due to the scarcity of aid. As a result of the war and Israeli restrictions that violate international laws, the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip suffer from a severe scarcity of food, water and medicine supplies, which has reached the point of recording deaths from hunger.
