GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) confirmed that what the Israeli occupation allows entering through the Gaza crossings, of flour and food supplies, does not meet 6% of the population’s needs.
The UN agency said that this has caused a severe crisis, especially in obtaining bread, which led to the closure of most bakeries in the southern Gaza Strip.
UNRWA explained that more than two million displaced people in the Gaza Strip are besieged by hunger, thirst, disease and fear, and that obtaining meals has become an impossible task for families in the Strip.
It pointed out that the conditions of the displaced in displacement tents and shelters are tragic, in light of hunger and cold weather and the inability of international organizations to meet the needs of the displaced people due to the scarcity of food and nutrition.
It further called for a complete opening of the Gaza crossings and the entry of what the population needs to reduce the famine that has exacerbated cases of malnutrition and multiple diseases.
