“Gaza siege, children and elders,” said Julight Touoma, a spokesman for the United Nations Agency -UNORW.
He told reporters in Geneva, “The whole family of seven or eight is just living in a box of beans or peas. Think of such a situation if you have nothing to feed your kids. Children sleep hungry.”
Spokeswoman Juliet Toma said that thousands of trucks filled with relief material are not allowed to enter Gaza.
“We have more than 5,000 trucks, standing in different regions of the region and ready with life -saving material.”
He said, “This decision is seriously affecting all the efforts of humanitarian assistance and creating a threat to the lives and existence of ordinary citizens in Gaza, who are already facing heavy bombs every day.”
Raffah
The UN Refugee Agency, UNRWA, says that the southern city of Gaza Rafah has been so destroyed that it seems to be “erased” completely.
Earlier, this city was used as one of the biggest ways to provide relief material in Gaza through Egypt, but now only the ruins and collapsed houses are seen in the air video.
According to UNRW, “Rafah is no longer like that city as it was before … there is only destruction around.”
Forcibly displaced order has been issued for the 5 percent percentage of the city, which has destroyed about 100,000 people.
About 12 months ago, the Israeli army entered the region, with 1 million people and their homes, health centers and shelters were damaged or completely destroyed.
Had to start everything again
More than 90 percent of Gaza had to leave their homes, “Not just once, not twice, some people had to be displaced up to 12 or 13 times … Now they have to start life every time.”
Prior to the start of the war in October 2021, Gaza used to bring about 5 trucks, food items and necessary items every day to meet the needs of the people. However, no human or commercial product has been reached since March 2.
The siege has emptied food and drink items, drugs, shelter materials and clean water reserves, which causes black and marketing promotions, and the prices have increased 10 to 20 times, sometimes increased 40 times.
“You can’t give your kids anything and are hungry in front of their eyes,” spokesperson Juliet Toma said.
According to the United Nations World Food Program (WFP), from January 5 to March 7, 2021, the prices of food have increased by 5 percent in recent weeks, compared to the ceasefire period of 2021.
Last Friday (April 2525), the UN agency handed over the rest of the food to the community kitchen, who serve the needy people like pulses soup and hot food.
The food reserves of this kitchen may end in the next few days, while last weekend, 16 kitchen has already closed. In addition to these, all 25 bakery supported by WFP is now closed.
“We can probably close the community kitchen in the coming days, because they do not have the necessary materials,” the spokesperson said.
Gaza is one of the biggest challenges of daily challenges for people – it is providing food for cooking and looking for fuel, because gas is not available for cooking.
“Families are now forced to cook with plastic,” said Taima, a spokesman.
