International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent: Humanitarian situation in Gaza worsens hour by hour
Geneva - Saba:
Tomaso Della Longa, spokesperson for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), stated on Wednesday that the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is deteriorating not by the month but hour by hour due to the genocide committed by the Zionist enemy.
The remarks came in a press statement addressing the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza as a result of the ongoing genocide and the blockade imposed for over two months, restricting the entry of humanitarian aid and medical supplies for Palestinians.
Della Longa described the daily lives of Palestinians in Gaza as a "continuous nightmare" due to starvation, stressing that millions lack basic necessities such as food, water, and healthcare.
He emphasized that the Palestinian Red Crescent continues its work with limited resources, adding, "Aid entry into Gaza has been halted for over 60 days—nothing is getting in."
He continued, "Only less than half of the Palestinian Red Crescent's ambulances are operational in Gaza, medical equipment in hospitals and clinics is rapidly depleting. The situation is worsening not by the month but hour by hour."
