GAZA, (PIC)
The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned that the Israeli prolonged prevention of aid entry into the Gaza Strip “causes irreparable harm to the lives of countless Palestinians.”
In a post on its Twitter account, the UN agency said, “It has been over nine weeks since the siege of Gaza began, with Israel preventing the entry of all humanitarian, medical and commercial supplies.”
UNRWA stressed that “the longer the Israeli blockade of the Strip continues, the more irreparable harm is caused to the lives of countless Palestinians,” adding: “We have thousands of trucks ready to enter, and our teams in Gaza are ready to expand the scope of aid delivery operations.”
The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip reported last Monday the martyrdom of 57 children as a result of malnutrition and health complications, amid a severe shortage of therapeutic milk, especially for children with special needs.
