The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) reported that more than 2,700 children under the age of five in the Gaza Strip are suffering from severe malnutrition.
UNRWA indicated that only one medical point is partially operating in the northern Gaza Strip, and fuel supplies are critically low.
They affirmed their readiness to provide large-scale humanitarian assistance in Gaza, in cooperation with other UN agencies.
She noted that they had asked Israel to cooperate and provide evidence regarding the serious allegations against them, but that despite the passage of 20 months, they had not received any response.
As the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stated: Civilians in Gaza should not risk their lives in search of food, and we stand ready to provide life-saving assistance in Gaza in accordance with humanitarian principles.
