The death of humanity in Gaza; painful images of people dying waiting for food!
As international warnings of a famine in the Gaza Strip continue to mount, UN reports and media sources suggest that almost the entire population of the strip is facing a hunger crisis, and harrowing scenes of children, women and the elderly fainting in the streets have become commonplace.
The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which has documented the Gaza famine, reported that: Fainting from hunger has become a daily occurrence in the northern Gaza Strip, with people fainting while searching for a bite of food or standing in long lines.
The UN agency reported that children are constantly fainting due to severe malnutrition, and families are unable to afford even one meal a day.
The World Health Organization also declared that hunger in Gaza has become a deadly weapon and that deaths from hunger, especially among children, are catastrophic. According to the latest statistics, more than 90 percent of children under the age of 5 in Gaza suffer from critical levels of malnutrition, and dozens of children have died of hunger in a short period of time.
UN officials also reported that the population of Gaza is literally being destroyed by hunger, and shelters and hospitals are suffering from severe shortages of food and medicine. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is unprecedented, and malnutrition-related diseases have spread among the displaced.
