The UN describes the humanitarian situation in Gaza as “more than catastrophic”
The UN says the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains “beyond catastrophic” as Israel has prevented more than a million Palestinians from receiving food throughout the month of August.
The UN spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarricsaid that the humanitarian partners of the UN lacked sufficient food supplies to meet needs for the second consecutive month in central and southern Gaza.
Dujarric said the critical shortage of food aid can be explained by ongoing hostilities, insecurity, damaged roads, breakdown of law and order and access limitations.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that “Israeli forces continue to use lethal war-like tacticsincluding air strikesin Jenin, Tubas and Tulkarem.”
Dujarric added that this has resulted in more deaths and injuries on Thursdayand the destruction or damage to more roads and infrastructure. “Medical facilities have been practically under siege for more than a weekwith strong restrictions imposed on the movement of ambulances and medical personnel,” Dujarric warned.
