UN sounds alarm over Gaza humanitarian crisis

In a joint statement issued on Sunday, the top officials of United Nations agencies OCHA, UNICEF, UNOPS, UNRWA, WFP, and WHO urged the renewal of the Gaza ceasefire, warning that for over a month, no commercial or humanitarian supplies have entered the Strip.

The joint statement underscored that more than 2.1 million people are “trapped, bombed and starved again, while, at crossing points, food, medicine, fuel and shelter supplies are piling up, and vital equipment is stuck.”

“We are witnessing acts of war in Gaza that show an utter disregard for human life,” the agencies warned, emphasizing that the first week following the collapse of the recent ceasefire saw more than 1,000 children reportedly killed or injured.
