In an alert, the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWAhas relayed desperate testimonies of his colleagues who also find it difficult to survive in the enclave torn by the war.
“We are in the death phase,” said an UNRWA worker. “” All around people at the moment is death, whether bombs or strikes, wasting children Before their eyes malnutrition, dehydration and death. »»
Doctors and nurses who continue to work in clinics and medical centers of the United Nations Agency “Watch the children disappear and die before their eyes, and there is absolutely nothing that they can do it, ” The worker continued.
The civilians faced the sniper and the tank-tire ‘
Development comes after desperate Gazans looking for aid were criticized on weekends “Israeli tanks, elite shooters and other shots”, According to the United Nations World Food Program (Wfp).
In a detail statement After the incident on Sunday, July 20, he explained that a truck convoy of 25 trucks had crossed the border point of Zikim in the north of Gaza “intended for hungry communities”.
Shortly after having successfully completed the final checkpoint after Zikim’s crossing point, the convoy met large crowds of civilians while waiting to access food supplies. It was then that the shooting started, leaving “countless” “dead” gasans, WFP said, echoing the reports of the health authorities.
Convicing the incident, WFP noted that the victims “simply tried to access food to feed themselves and their families on the verge of famine”.
The United Nations agency said violence had occurred “Despite the insurance of the Israeli authorities that humanitarian operational conditions would improve; Including that the armed forces will not be present or will engage at any stage along the humanitarian convoy roads. »»
Without such fundamental guarantees, it will not be possible to continue to provide vital support through the Gaza Strip, said WPF, its reaction one day after 36 people asking for help were killed near a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Center led by the Israelis and the United States in the southern band.
Evacuation shock Deir al-Balah
In the Central Gaza, Deir al-Balah, 50,000 to 80,000 people were affected by a mass movement order emitted by the Israeli army-the first since the war broke out on October 7, 2023.
“The new order crosses Deir al-Balah to the Mediterranean Sea, more exploding the band”, Ochha said. “This will limit the capacity of the UN and our partners to move safely and effectively in Gaza, suffocating humanitarian access when necessary. “”
The UN staff remain in Deir Al-Balah in “dozens of premises” whose contact details were shared with the parties at war. “These locations – as for all civil sites – must be protected, whatever the travel orders,” insisted OCHA, because the Israeli tanks have moved to the southern and east regions of the city.
According to information, this may be there that some of the remaining hostages seized in terrorist attacks led by Hamas on October 7, 2023 in Israel can still be held.
Gaza cuts in half
The last evacuation order means that almost 88% Gaza is assigned by travel orders or is located in the Israeli-militarized areas. Some 2.1 million civilians who have been uprooted on several occasions are now pressed in the remaining space, where the essential services have collapsed.
“There is nowhere [Gazans] escape. They are trapped, “said Louise Waterridge, head of UNRWA senior emergencies.” They cannot leave the Gaza Strip. They try to keep their children alive. They try to keep themselves alive.
In the comments of UN NewsThe veteran humanitarian has explained that no food is available and only very limited water, explaining why so many desperate Gazans are likely that their lives have come to the help of the few distribution centers and still operational arrival points.
“The children are unwelcome, they are dehydrated, they die in front of their [parents’] eyes, “continued Ms. Waterridge.” Bombs and strikes continue; There is no way to run, there is nowhere to hide. There is no way to escape there.
