The media advisor to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza, Adnan Abu Hasna, said that the agency’s food supplies are only enough for half a day, and that what Gaza is currently being exposed to has never been exposed to in all previous wars with the Israeli occupation.
Abu Hasna added: In previous wars, Israel was coordinating with UNRWA, reopening the crossings to bring in relief aid, and opening humanitarian corridors, but this complete closure has not happened since 1967.
The UNRWA media advisor confirmed that fuel in Gaza is about to run out, the health sector is collapsing, and all of Gaza is now drinking polluted water. The population in the Gaza Strip drinks directly from wells, its salinity level is 9 times the global average, and all desalination plants are stopped, in addition to the fact that sewage flows directly into the Gaza underground reservoir and its services are stopped, and after all of that, there has been a siege on the Gaza Strip for 16 years.
In an attempt to alleviate the catastrophic situation in the Gaza Strip, Adnan said that the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, made contacts with regional countries, the US administration, and the European Union, and the Commissioner-General of UNRWA, Philippe Lazzarini, visited Cairo and met with Egyptian officials in order to coordinate the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza. . But in practice and on the ground, the crossings are still closed.
