UNRWA: Hunger is everywhere in Gaza and the situation in the north is tragic
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) reported on Sunday that “hunger is everywhere in the Gaza Strip.”
The UN agency stressed, in a post on its account on the X platform, that “the situation in northern Gaza is tragic, as ground aid is prevented despite repeated appeals.”
UNRWA said, "As Ramadan approaches, humanitarian access through the Gaza Strip and an immediate ceasefire are essential to save lives."
It stressed that "hunger is everywhere in Gaza."
As a result of the war and Israeli restrictions, the residents of Gaza, especially the Gaza and northern governorates, are on the verge of famine, in light of a severe scarcity of food, water, medicine and fuel supplies, with the displacement of about two million Palestinians from the Strip, which has been besieged by Israel for 17 years.
