UN: Israel's blocking of aid makes Gaza hungriest place on earth
Berlin - Saba:
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Thursday that Israel is preventing all but a small amount of humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, with virtually no ready-to-eat food entering what the OCHA spokesman described as "the hungriest place on earth."
Office spokesman Jens Laerke added that only 600 of the 900 aid trucks authorized to reach the Israeli-Gaza border have reached the Gaza Strip. From there, a combination of bureaucratic and security obstacles has made it nearly impossible to safely bring aid into the Strip, according to Reuters.
With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has been committing genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 54,249 citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 123,492 others, as of yesterday, Thursday, in a preliminary toll, with thousands of victims still under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulance and rescue crews.
