The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip can only eat one meal every two days due to the Israeli blockade.

This came in a statement published by the UN agency today, Thursday, commenting on the food needs of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where the number of displaced people due to the Israeli aggression has reached two million people.

She stressed that according to data from the Norwegian Refugee Council (an independent humanitarian organization) and other organizations, 83% of the required food aid cannot be delivered to Gaza.

She pointed out that she and her partners distributed high-energy biscuits to children to reduce the effects of malnutrition, stressing that the residents of the Strip eat an average of one meal every two days.

Last Sunday, Kamel Ajur, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kamel Ajur Bakeries in Gaza City, warned of the return of the specter of famine in the northern Gaza Strip after a crisis began to appear in bread production due to the cessation of work of 5 bakeries out of 6 located in the northern Gaza Strip.

As a result of the war and Israeli restrictions that violate international laws, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are suffering from severe shortages of food, water and medicine, to the point of recording deaths from starvation.
