GAZA, (PIC)
A senior Palestinian health official has warned that Gaza’s population is enduring severe starvation and facing an inevitable famine, urging the world to intervene and put an end to the Israeli war of genocide and deprivation.
“We are powerless — there is no infant formula for children, nor medicine for pregnant women,” Marwan al-Hams, director of the field hospitals, said in press remarks on Sunday.
In a message to the world, al-Hams called for moving urgently to save the Gaza people from genocide and starvation. “We want to live in peace, just like any other people in the world.”
He noted that the fuel supplies at hospitals, which are used to run power generators, are only sufficient for three more days.
Earlier, the Government Media Office (GMO) warned that “the Gaza Strip is teetering on the edge of mass deaths due to the escalating famine.”
“The famine is spreading, with over a million children being at extreme risk, while vital sectors are collapsing under a suffocating blockade and shameful international silence,” GMO said.
