The Israeli prime minister asked the United Nations this Sunday, July 27, July 27, to stop blaming his government for the humanitarian situation in Gaza after the army announced that it was going to facilitate the passage of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territory.
“There are safe runners. They have always existed, but today it is official. There will be no more excuses,” said Benjamin Netanyahu during a visit to an air base.
The United Nations praised the army announcements while remained reserved for their impact and application methods in a territory devastated for more than 21 months of war.
“Humanitarian Romaces”
On UN Sunday, he said he wanted to try as many people as possible in the Gaza Strip, after Israel’s announcement about the opening of safe terrestrial roads for humanitarian convoys in the Palestinian enclave besieged and hungry.
The World Food Program (PAM) said it has enough food, already on the site or on the way to the region, to feed the 2.1 million inhabitants of the Gaza strip for almost three months.
The UN Humanitarian Operations Chief Tom Fletcher praised the announcement of these “humanitarian breaks.” “In contact with our teams in the field that will do everything possible to reach as many hungry people as we can,” he wrote in X.
PAM explained that breaks and runners should help distribute emergency foods safely. “Food aid is the only real means for most Gazan residents to eat,” he said in a statement.
Catastrophic humanitarian situation
He specifies that a third of the population has not eaten for several days, and that 470,000 people in Gaza “suffer similar conditions to a famine” that would lead to their death.
According to the PMA, 62,000 tons of food are needed each month to provide the needs of the entire population of Gazan.
The agency also points out that, in addition to the “rest” announced on Sunday, Israel is committed to letting more trucks in Gaza enter with faster customs authorization procedures, and said there would be no “army strength or shooting near the convoys.”
“Together, we hope that these measures will increase emergency food aid to reach familiar people without new delays,” said the PMA.
The United Nations High Commissioner of the United Nations, Volker Türk, said that Israel, as a power that Gaza occupied, was obliged to ensure that a sufficient amount of food to the population is provided. “Children are starving before our eyes. Gaza is a dystopian landscape marked by mortal attacks and total destruction,” he said in a statement.
Help of distributions that resort to the massacre
He criticized the Humanitarian Foundation of Gaza (GHF), a private organization supported by the United States and Israel, which began distributing food at the end of May when efforts organized by the UN were blocked.
According to Volker Türk, “the” chaotic and militarized places “do not completely provide humanitarian aid on the scale and in the necessary proportions.”
According to their services, Israeli forces have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians who tried to recover food since the GHF launched its operations, almost three quarters near GHF sites.
“The famine crisis is getting worse,” warned the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) on Friday, emphasizing that hunger and malnutrition increased the risk of disease and that the consequences could “become fatal” quickly. “
The Ocha had announced that UN teams were in place to intensify deliveries in the Palestinian territory “as soon as they are allowed to do so.”
