OCHA: Humanitarian aid to Gaza does not meet needs
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has announced that humanitarian aid for Gaza is not enough and the aid is about to end in a major humanitarian disaster.
The statement by OCHA has explained that, while the Israeli army continues its air attacks and ground attacks in Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, the residents of those areas receive very little aid to the extent that the number of children dying of hunger is increasing every day.
The warning was given today by Jens Laerke, OCHA spokesperson, at a United Nations press conference in Geneva, Switzerland.
A recent study by the United Nations has shown that 95 percent of children aged six to 23, that is, especially those under the age of five, eat two meals or less a day, which is very dangerous for their health.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Aid, OCHA, has continued to emphasize that the responsibility of the Israeli authorities is to prepare an environment for the delivery of aid without barriers.
On May 7, the army of the Zionist regime carried out an invasion and a ground attack against the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip and closed the crossing of the city between Gaza and Egypt, which is considered one of the most important routes humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territory.
