Almost 290,000 gaza stripes on the edge of death in the middle of Israeli blockade | Israel-Palestine conflict news

More than 3,500 children under the age of five “are about to be hungry for immediately,” said Gaza's government media office (GMO) and added that around 70,000 children would be hospitalized in the enclave due to severe malnutrition in the enclave

“Under this systematic blockade, more than 3,500 children under the age of five are of direct death from hunger, while around 290,000 children are shortly before death,” says the GMO declaration of Telegram on Sunday.

“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.

At least 57 Palestinians have starved and caused global outrage, but this has not convinced Israel to enable an aid of 2.3 million people.

According to the aid organizations, the territory has driven a lack of food and supplies. The care for the treatment and prevention of malnutrition is exhausted and is quickly expired when documented cases of malnutrition increase.

The price of what is still available to little food on the market is unaffordable for most in Gaza, where the United Nations say that more than 80 percent of the population are dependent on help.

Auxiliary groups and right -wing activists have accused Israel of using hunger as a weapon of war.

For its part, Israel insists that the blockade is necessary to put Hamas under pressure in order to keep them into releasing prisoners. Of the 59 prisoners who are still in Gaza Strip, it is assumed that 24 are alive.

According to Gaza's Health, Israel's war against Gaza has killed at least 52,495 Palestinians and wounded 118,366. The GMO has updated the number of fatalities to more than 61,700 and said, thousands of people who are missing under the ruins are suspected as dead.
