UN aid work: flour reserves used up in the Gaza Strip
The Palestinian Aid Work can hardly distribute food in the coastal strip. The blockade of the Israeli military is responsible. 3,000 trucks with relief goods would be ready.
Due to the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip, the UN Palestinian Aid (UNRWA) can hardly distribute food in the sealed area. The flour reserves are completely empty, said Unrwa. In addition, the aid organization has only over 250 food packages with rice, lentils, beans, oil and canned fish, which a family of five can eat for about two weeks. According to Unrwa boss Philippe Lazzarini, almost 3,000 trucks are currently available to deliver urgently needed auxiliary goods in the Gaza Strip.
However, according to the relief organization, the Israeli military has no longer left goods in the sealed coastal strips since the beginning of March. “The hunger spreads and intensifies, caused intentionally and by humans,” wrote Unrwa boss Lazzarini on X. “The Gaza Strip has become a country of despair.” According to the World Food Program (WFP), the prices for food increased by up to 700 percent compared to the time before the Gaza War.
No agreement to extend the fire break
After a two -month ceasefire between Israel and Islamist Hamas, the Israeli military resumed the massive attacks in the coastal area in mid -March. The two sides could not agree on an extension of the fire break. According to UN, at least 1.9 million people – about 90 percent of the total population of the Gaza Strip – were driven out during the fights, many even several times.
The trigger of the Gaza War was the attack by Hamas and other extremist groups on Israel on October 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 were dragged into the Gaza strips as hostages. Since then, according to the health authority controlled by the Hamas, more than 51,300 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip.
