The UN report also emphasizes that 26% of the residents of Gaza (576,600 people) have exhausted their food supplies and the possibilities for overcoming difficulties, and they are facing catastrophic hunger and starvation.

“The UN World Food Program warned of the upcoming disaster for several weeks. Unfortunately, without safe and constant access to which we called, the situation becomes desperate, and no one in gas is insured from hunger,” said the executive director of the runway Cindy McCain.

If the current situation of intensive conflict and limited humanitarian access in gas is preserved, there is a risk of hunger over the next six months,

People told the runway to the staff that they often spend all days without food and that many adults are starving so that children could eat.

Humanitarian access is now necessary so that the goods come to the gas and throughout its territory and that civilians are so that civilians and so that civilians are for civilians Could safely receive vital help. The UN VPP again calls for the humanitarian cessation of fire – the world must unite in order to save people’s lives. “
