In the Gaza, at least 57 Palestinians, as Israel's punishment of food, water and other critical help for the besieged enclave, death in the middle of relentless bombing.

On Saturday, Gaza's government media office announced that most victims were children as well as sick and older people who convicted the “continued use of food by the Israeli occupation as a war weapon” and asked the international community to put pressure on Israel to open and help again.

The Gaza has been housed under Israeli blockade since March 2, which is accommodated by Al Jazera Arabic with a large number of trucks with vital supplies on the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip on Saturday, which went south across the city of Arish (28 miles) from Raafah -Border Border.

The Al Jazera team identified one of the latest victims on Saturday, a little girl named Janan Saleh al-Sakafi, who died in the Rantisi Hospital west of the city of Gaza. According to the United Nations, more than 9,000 children have been included in the hospital for the treatment of acute malnutrition since the beginning of the year.

Al Jazeeras Hani Mahmoud reported from the city of Gaza and said that he saw heartbreaking scenes of children who were distributed by garbage, “looking for what is left of conserves”. The enclave, he added, had reached a “critical” point with international organizations from supplies and community kitchens that could not prepare meals for displaced persons.

“Finding a single meal has become an impossible search,” Ahmad al-Najar, a displaced Palestinian in Gaza City, told Al Jazera. “People here have seen a charity organization after the other explained that they no longer have a care that they will switch off their operations because they are unable to offer the population the relief required.”

“It is frustrating and annoying that trucks on the other side of the fence are denied the entrance, while people, even children, are in poor conditions.”

Hospitals are exposed to acute deficiency

Suhib al-Hams, the director of the Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah, said in an explanation that medical services “accept an acute defect in more than 75 percent of the essential medication” with just one week after stock.

He warned that most medical services of the enclave will stop without an “immediate intervention” to open the borders again and to hold medical and humanitarian aid. He added that patients who “die every day without treatment” urgently had to be evacuated.

The continued blockade is the longest of such closure with which the Gaza Strip has ever been exposed to, and has come because the Israeli forces further bomb the area, whereby, according to the Ministry of Health, at least 70 Palestinians were killed and 275 other people were injured.
