The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned on Sunday that its medical services in the Gaza Strip are suffering from a "severe shortage" of resources, in light of the blockade and genocide being perpetrated by Tel Aviv, with American support, against the Strip.

"Nearly a third of the sector's essential (medical) supplies have run out, and the other third is expected to run out in less than two months," the agency said in a post on the XN platform.

She noted that it remains one of the most prominent health actors in Gaza.

She stressed that its medical services are suffering from a severe shortage of resources due to the ongoing blockade and Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip.

On Friday, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini warned in a post on Twitter that the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip "will silently kill" more children and women every day, in addition to those killed by bombing.

On Thursday, Ismail al-Thawabta, director of the government media office in Gaza, told Anadolu Agency that the Strip had entered an "advanced stage of famine" due to the ongoing Israeli blockade and the closure of crossings to the entry of aid and goods since March 2.

Since March 2, Israel has closed the Gaza Strip's crossings to the entry of food, relief, medical aid, and goods, causing a significant deterioration in the humanitarian situation for Palestinians, according to government, human rights, and international reports.

The 2.4 million Palestinians in Gaza are entirely dependent on such aid after 19 months of genocide have rendered them impoverished, according to World Bank data.

This humanitarian crisis comes amid the displacement of more than 90 percent of Gaza's Palestinians from their homes. Some have experienced this situation more than once, living in overcrowded shelters or out in the open without shelter, which has increased the spread of diseases and epidemics.

Since October 7, 2023, with full American support, Israel has been committing systematic genocide in the Gaza Strip, leaving more than 170,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.
