GAZA, (PIC)
UNRWA said on Friday that “2.1 million Palestinians living in Gaza have witnessed or experienced an unprecedented number of violent and traumatic events, including direct violence, repeated displacement, and the loss of loved ones, homes, and belongings.”
“Such experiences have increased anxiety, depression, and other mental health and psychosocial problems. Extensive destruction of the healthcare system prevents even basic treatment of these conditions in the immediate and long term,” it added.
The UN agency noted that “both Food Security and Nutrition Clusters continue to experience access challenges; in August more than one million people did not receive any food rations in southern and central Gaza.”
It further elaborated that “continuous displacement is disrupting access to nutrition sites and distribution cycles, hindering the humanitarian partners’ ability to maintain consistent service delivery.”
