“Under this systematic blockade, more than 3,500 children under the age of five are on death by hunger, while around 290,000 children are shortly before death,” says the explanation published in Telegram.

“At a time when 1.1 million children are missing the minimal nutritional requirements for survival every day, this crime is committed by the” Israeli “occupation with hunger as a weapon, in the middle of a shameful international silence,” he added.

The whole world “complicit” in hunger of children in Gaza

Mahmoud Alsaqqa, Oxfams Lead -Lead in the Gaza Strip, says that humanitarian organizations in Gaza are “desperate” for unrestricted auxiliary flows in Gaza, Al Jazera reported.

“We have many supplies in Egypt and Jordan, and we cannot reach them,” he said, adding that he expected the humanitarian situation to deteriorate even further.

“We repeatedly sounded the alarm and warned that this phase will lead to catastrophic and potentially irreversible consequences, especially for groups in need of protection, the children, the older people and women,” said Alsaqqa.

“Unfortunately, the whole world contributes to starving the children in the Gaza Strip.

“You have the choice: either still the horror, the pictures and pictures from Gaza strips or to take measures,” he said.
