The humanitarian and health situation there is becoming more catastrophic with each passing day, warned Inas Hamdan, spokeswoman for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Middle East (Unrwa).

In statements to the Safa news agency, the official denounced the siege applied by Israel, which prevents the entry of vital items such as food, fuel and medicines.

In this regard, she pointed out that for more than 100 days no diesel has been entering the territory, which threatens the work of hospitals and relief services.

Gaza urgently needs fuel to avoid the paralysis of essential services, such as dialysis, ambulances and the pumping of drinking water, she stressed.

Inas emphasized that the aid distribution process in Gaza, created by the United States and Israel, has become a death trap, and, moreover, “humiliates the needy and strips them of their humanity”.
