The United Nations said that Israel has been preventing all types of aid from entering the Gaza Strip for 50 days, and that the impact on the Strip's residents is "very serious."

This was stated by UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric during a press conference held on Monday at UN headquarters in New York.

Dujarric explained that the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) confirmed that for 50 days, no food, fuel, medicine, or other essential supplies have entered Gaza.

He added that food stocks have decreased "dangerously" during this period, and that medicines, medical supplies, and vaccines are running out.

Dujarric noted that children and adults are suffering from hunger, and that the health system in the Strip is on the verge of collapse.

He added, "Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced, and Israeli attacks on humanitarian and health workers have increased once again."

Israel has closed the Gaza Strip's crossings to the entry of food, relief, medical aid, and goods since March 2, causing a significant deterioration in the humanitarian situation for Palestinians, according to government, human rights, and international reports.
