290,000 children on the edge of death

Almost 290,000 Palestinian children are “shortly before death” in Gaza, since Israel continues to be prevented as a weapon of war, Palestinian officials say.

In a statement on Sunday, the Gaza media office announced that more than 70,000 children are admitted to the hospital due to severe malnutrition and that the international community maintains a “disgraceful silence” of these crimes.

“Under this systematic blockade it was said:” More than 3,500 children under the age of five are about to get uphill by hunger, while about 290,000 children are about to death. “

According to the statement, the Israeli regime continues to prevent baby food, nutritional supplements and all forms of humanitarian aid into the coasts.

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

World 'Complaccit' in hunger of gaza strip children

The Advocacy Group Oxfam has warned that the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip will “worsen”.

Mahmoud Alsaqqa, Oxfam's nutritional security and livelihood in Gaza, said: “We repeatedly sounded the alarm and warned that this level will lead to catastrophic and potentially irreversible consequences, especially for the endangered groups, the children, the older people and women.”

He said: “Unfortunately, the whole world contributes to starving the children in the Gaza Strip or participating.”

“Unfortunately, they are all complicit without taking measures,” said Alsaqqa.

Alsaqqa said that the international community has “one choice: either to watch the horror, the pictures and pictures from Gaza or take measures”.

For two months, Israel has blocked the entry of medical, fuel and food in Gaza Strip. Aid organizations have repeatedly warned that the humanitarian reaction in Gaza is about to “total collapse”.
