The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that all basic supplies are running out in Gaza, "which means that babies will go to bed hungry."

In a statement published on Saturday, UNRWA Communications Director Juliette Touma called for immediate action to prevent the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

She stressed that after six weeks of an Israeli-imposed blockade on the Strip, which prevents the entry of aid and commercial supplies, "food stocks are nearly gone, bakeries are closed, and hunger is spreading."

Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation forces have launched an aggression against the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of 50,933 citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 116,450 others. This is a preliminary toll, with a number of victims still under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams.
