About 95% of aid groups suspended or reduced their services due to the Israeli bombing and the blockade.
The total headquarters of Israel and the bombing of the Gaza Strip have let the Palestinian children survive with less than one meal a day, according to an urgent warning of managers of 12 large aid groups in the enclave.
The Gaza humanitarian aid system “faces the total collapse” due to 18 months of Israel’s military operation and the recent taxation of a complete blockade last month, the joint declaration said on Thursday.
It is estimated that 95% of the 43 international and Palestinian aid groups have already suspended or reduced their services to Gaza, in the midst of “widespread and blind bombings, which makes it extremely dangerous to move,” he added.
“Children eat less than one meal a day and find it difficult to find their next meal,” said Bushra Khalil, politician of the Oxfam aid group. “Everyone purely eats canned food … malnutrition and famine pockets are definitively occurring in Gaza.”
Almond Bazerolle, emergency coordinator in Gaza for doctors without borders, added that humanitarian workers have been forced to look at people, many of them, women and children, suffer and die while carrying “the burden impossible to relieve exhausted supplies”.
“It is not a humanitarian failure-it is a political choice and a deliberate assault against the capacity of a population to survive, made with impunity,” she said.
In Gaza City, Hani Mahmoud of Tel Aviv Tribune reported on Friday that the enclave lacked baby formula, leaving children and ill -fed infants.
“We have seen many cases of serious malnutrition. Families are unable to provide for their most basic needs, even for the most vulnerable children – newborns. The baby formula is largely absent from markets and pharmacies,” said Mahmoud. “Gaza quickly lacks all necessities.”
Outside the Al-Aqsa hospital in Deir El-Balah, the Palestinians told Tel Aviv Tribune that they lost their children because of malnutrition.
Fadi Ahmed, who lost his son, said that hospital staff had discovered “massive infections in the boy’s lungs, which led to a serious lack of oxygen in his blood”.
“The weakness of the boy and severe malnutrition led to his inability to resist, then to his death … after spending a week in the hospital.”
Intisar Hamdan, a grandmother, said that she had lost her grandson because her parents could not find any milk for three days.
“Children suffer not only from malnutrition, but also medical complications and serious illnesses that cannot be easily treated and require rare medical supplies,” said Tareq Azzoum from Tel Aviv Tribune.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, at least 60,000 children are considered to be malnutricity in Palestinian territory.
Aid groups said Gaza holds the record to be “the deadliest place on the land for humanitarian workers”, which makes children even more difficult to provide children.
Since October 2023, more than 400 humanitarian workers and 1,300 health workers have been killed in Gaza, despite the protection of the requirement of international humanitarian law for humanitarian workers and health workers.
“The recent murder of 15 paramedical paramedics and Palestinian rescue, whose bodies were found buried in a mass tomb, have triggered world indignation, but many violations and attacks are not reported,” he added.
The aid groups call Israel and the Palestinian armed group to guarantee the safety of their staff and to allow safe access and without aid of aid to Gaza and through Gaza “, and so that world leaders oppose new aid restrictions.
