Shortly after entering Gaza, the UN World Food Program said that a WFP convoy, which consists of 25 trucks with food aid, then faced the “hungry civilians with the big crowd of hungry civilians”.

On Sunday, UN’s Palestinian agency Unwa said that Israeli officials were hunger hunger in Gaza, including 1 million children. “Unwa has enough food for more than three months for the entire Gaza population,” he said in an earlier social media mission, which includes a warehouse photograph in Arish in Egypt. “Open the doors, lift the siege, let UNRWA do their job and let 1 million children help people who need it,” he said.
UNRWA last week Dying from “severe acute malnutrition”.
Israel banned all cooperation with UNRWA in Gaza and the West Bank, accused of infiltration by her agency Hamas, but an independent study found that Tel Aviv did not provide evidence of the allegations of UNRWA employees that it was a member of terrorist organizations. The agency was the main aid distributor in Gaza and the basic services provider, including health and education, to the Palestinians in the region.
Since May, help has been largely distributed by the US and Israeli -backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation instead of traditional UN -led system. Since Israel applied to the blockade on March 2, the food became scarce and very expensive.

” [Israel] Defense forces continue to work with great force to destroy the enemy’s talents and the terrorist infrastructure in the region. ”
Israel’s forces have not yet entered these regions during the current conflict because they suspect that Hamas could keep hostage there. It is believed that at least 20 of the 50 hostages under captivity in Gaza are still alive.
