Muhammad Abu Afesh announced that over the past five months, no food or medical aid has entered Gaza, leaving the people completely without access to food, drinking water, and medical services. According to Abu Afesh, 17,000 children in Gaza are suffering from severe malnutrition, and the lack of formula and vital nutrients for infants has caused serious and fatal problems for them.
He warned: If medicines and medical equipment do not arrive quickly, the mortality rate will increase dangerously. Muhammad Abu Afesh said: While the people of Gaza are in extreme food poverty, desperate for even a bag of flour, the occupying forces are deliberately destroying large quantities of food.
He added: Many of the wounded hospitalized in Gaza hospitals are in dire need of medicine and medical care, but due to the siege and lack of equipment, treating them faces serious challenges.
Abu Afesh announced a new promise from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to deliver six trucks of aid to the medical sector today, expressing hope that this small step could slightly alleviate the suffering of the people of Gaza.
