While young and old dies in the streets and hospitals of Gaza due to the systematic starvation that Israel is practicing against them with American support, the international bodies refuse to declare famine formally in the Strip.
Earlier today, Saturday, the 3 -month -old Palestinian child Yahya Al -Najjar spent, due to malnutrition, while the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) said that he had disturbing reports that children and adults of hunger are suffering from hunger inside hospitals.
The UNRWA Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) also appealed to the world to help her save the two million people, including a million children, who face death in the Strip, and said that it has a stored that is sufficient to feed all the population for 3 months, but it is unable to enter it.
Availability of international standards
According to an information report prepared by Nusseibeh Musa for Al -Jazeera channel, the criteria set for the announcement of famine in any region in the world have been available in Gaza for a while. Among these criteria is to confront 20% of the population severe hunger levels, documenting the suffering of 30% of children from wasting and severe thinness.
The government media center in the sector indicates that 650,000 children (from 2,400 million live in the sector) face the risk of death due to malnutrition and hunger, while about 60,000 holders face a real threat due to the lack of food and the necessary health care.
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) also announced that 112 children in Gaza are entering hospitals daily to treat malnutrition and severe wasting, as well as 620 people death due to hunger, 70 of them have died since last June.
During the journey to search for scarce food, Israel killed about 900 Palestinians as they went to the food aid distribution centers of what is known as the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation”.
In the area of Al -Mawsa Yunus, south of the Strip, which is one of the most crowded areas of the displaced, about a million people face the risk of starvation after more than 100 days have passed since the entry of food to them.
Even attempts to buy food have become almost impossible due to the war and the siege of all the money had to people, while the food was unprecedented and its prices cannot be imagined.
Sugar is sold in love
The price of a kilo of flour has exceeded $ 50 at the best, which made the loaf of bread in Gaza a distant dream. Sugar is also sold in gram such as gold, and the price of a gram reached one dollar, meaning that the price per kilo reached 1000.
As for the prices of vegetables, they start with two dollars for a single pill if available, and that means that the family needs $ 150 a day in order to get one meal a day.
And if people decided to obtain a flour bag or some cans from the institution that Israel established in cooperation with the United States in the far south of the sector, they must walk with their meager bodies and their luxurious forces, at least 6 kilometers back and forth.
Until cutting this distance despite hunger and thirst does not mean that the lane will not return zero hands, this is if he does not return to his family a dead body, as the occupation forces fire randomly and deliberately at the aid applicants.
Earlier today, sources in Gaza hospitals reported that 116 Palestinians were killed by the occupation army fire, including 38 aid applicants.
In an interview with Al -Jazeera, the director of the Al -Shifa Medical Complex, Mohamed Abu Salma, said that two people were martyred in the Gaza Strip as a result of malnutrition since Friday. He stressed that the famine in the sector has reached very advanced stages, and it includes all groups.
A spokesman for the Al -Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the center of the sector, Khalil Al -Dakran, said that they no longer find one meal for patients or hospital workers, stressing that the number of those suffering from severe wasting is constantly increasing.
