Israel “is starving the population of Gazadenounced the United Nations Agency that provides assistance to Palestinian refugees (Unrwa), demanding the end of the blockade to humanitarian aid in the Palestinian territory.

The unwra ensures enough foods to nourish the 2.1 million inhabitants of Gaza for more than three months.
A Lack of food in Gaza is so severe that also the United States-based non-governmental organization Rahma Worldwide estimates that more than one Million Palestinians are at risk of hungry.
According to the organization, there is “an unprecedented influx” of people with extreme malnutrition to hospitals, “in a state of exhaustion and loss of mobility due to prolonged hunger“.
This portrait has been confirmed in recent days by several hospitals in Gaza.
In the last 48 hours, at least three babies and one child have died Due to the inanition and malnutrition, a Gaza Ministry of Health official told the Spanish agency.
According to Gaza’s health authorities, it is estimated that 17,000 children suffer from acute malnutrition at the Palestinian enclave, which also increased the percentage of low-weight babies births, as well as the number of abortions and deaths.
Israel has blocked the entry of food since March 2and the few UN trucks that entered the enclave since then – most carrying flour – were looted or failed to distribute food safely.
Since late May, Israel has forced the distribution of aid through militarized complexes in Rafah, where more than 900 Palestinians have been killed by troops or crushed in the last month and a half, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
Distribution points are the size of soccer fields, are surrounded by safety stations, barbed wire and hills, and the only entry is through a seal.
Food pallets are placed on the floor and the Palestinians have to run to catch them, and the Israelite troops often shoot the crowd.
Israel argues that he wants to prevent the distribution of help from being controlled by the Palestinian Extremist Movement Hamas.
