United Nations warns of food insecurity for displaced people in Gaza
The United Nations warned on Saturday of the lack of food security and access to water, shelter and health care for tens of thousands of displaced people in Gaza as a result of the Israeli aggression.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid (OCHA) said in a statement carried by the German News Agency: “Tens of thousands were displaced from Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip yesterday after they were warned by the occupation army of the necessity of evacuating their homes,” noting that before the Israeli warning was issued, more More than 400,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced internally due to continued bombing.
The statement added that the power outage led to the closure of the only power plant in Gaza, after the exhaustion of fuel reserves, warning the Israeli authorities not to target the plant if it tried to resume its operations.
The UN statement stated that all humanitarian agencies and their workers faced significant restrictions in providing humanitarian assistance, indicating that the prevailing insecurity prevents safe access to people in need and basic facilities.
