A spokesperson for UNRWA "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" reinforces the famine and the situation has surpassed disaster.

The situation in the Gaza Strip has surpassed the stage of disaster, as confirmed by Tamara Al-Rifai, the Director of External Relations and Media at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), who stated that the chaos in aid distribution has played a significant role in expanding the famine among the population.

The agency can reach those in need quickly and easily based on its infrastructure and information, with the help of up to 15,000 of its staff who are still working in the sector, according to Al-Rifai in an interview.

However, Israel continues its attempts to entrench chaos and deepen the crisis through what is known as the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation," which provides aid through 400 points across the sector, compared to the 400,000 points that UNRWA operated through.

Earlier today, sources reported the agency's Commissioner-General stating that the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" is run by gangs, some of which are hostile to Muslims, and that more than 2,000 desperate hungry people have died while seeking food.

Despite the difficulties imposed by Israel on the ground, 15,000 UNRWA staff continue to provide health and educational services even in displacement tents that are being bombed.

These staff members, according to the spokesperson, convey the reality on the ground, which confirms the expansion of famine from the northern sector to the central areas.

Israel deliberately mistreats humanitarian institutions, especially UNRWA, which is considered the largest actor and witness to everything happening in Gaza.

This unknown and unrecognized institution, as described by Al-Rifai, is intended to replace all international and UN institutions that have extensive experience in health and education in Gaza.

UNRWA schools are overcrowded with displaced persons amid the inability to find and rent a place or buy a tent, and there must be safe and permanent access.

UNRWA also has lists of all the affected and vulnerable individuals, including those who have lost their breadwinner or have children with special needs in Gaza.

Lazareini confirmed today that addressing famine requires safe, continuous, and widespread access for those in need anywhere.

The humanitarian working group in the occupied Palestinian territories, which includes UN agencies and more than 200 international and local NGOs, expressed its grave concern over the serious escalation in the city of Gaza.

At the same time, the Ministry of Health in the sector announced the martyrdom of 7 due to hunger, raising the number of those who have died from malnutrition to 411, including 142 children.
