A quarter of Gazans on the brink of starvation – food is running out
The attack on the aid center happened at the same time as food shortages worsen in Gaza. According to the UN, a quarter of Gaza’s more than two million inhabitants are on the verge of starvation.
of the Director of UNRWA by Philippe Lazzarin according to the organization, there are no more food distribution centers in Gaza and the food is running out.
He told the news agency AFP that the UN has previously told the Israeli army the location of the aid center that was hit.
According to Lazzarin, the attacks on aid centers show that Israel does not care about international law.
There are about 1.4 million people in Rafah, most of whom have fled from other parts of Gaza. Israel has threatened to attack Rafah. The UN has warned that the result would be even greater human suffering.
The aid ship is on its way
Efforts are being made to get more aid to Gaza by sea transport. The first aid ship to leave Cyprus is on its way to Gaza.
The United States plans to build a temporary wharf in Gaza to receive sea shipments.
Today, for the first time in three weeks, aid from the Israeli side was transported to the northern part of Gaza. Six World Food Program trucks crossed the border.
Aid has also been dropped from the air, but air drops are considered insufficient.
