650,000 children in the Gaza with the risk of death

650,000 children in the Gaza with the risk of death

Tehran – The blockade imposed by the Israeli occupation regime on Gaza has suspended 650,000 hungry Palestinian children with the risk of death.

The occupation regime continues its hunger campaign in Gaza, with hundreds of thousands of children exposing the risk of death and blocking the urgently needed humanitarian aid.

According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, the consequences are bad.

With the persistent blockade, an unprecedented number of people of all ages arrive in emergency rooms of the Field Hospital, which suffer from extreme exhaustion and malnutrition.

In a statement, the Ministry of Health warned that hundreds of heavily weakened people are faced with a certain death due to the hunger and inability of their body to endure further deprivation.

The number of children who died of hunger and malnutrition in Gaza has increased to more than 70.

“We warn that hundreds of those whose bodies are withered are now exposed to a certain death by hunger, since their physical strength can no longer maintain it,” said the Ministry.

According to Gaza's media office, at least 620 Palestinians died of a lack of food and medicine.

These figures have proven when the Israeli occupation regime maintains its complete siege of the territory, a guideline described by the office as part of an ongoing genocide campaign, which is tightened by the lack of sensible international intervention.

The government media office also published updated figures associated with the blockade. Since the start of the full closure of the Gaza crossings, the occupation regime has blocked at least 76,450 humanitarian aid and fuel trucks from entering the strip.

As a result, in addition to the dozens of children who have already starved, around 650,000 children are at risk of dying from hunger and malnutrition.

In addition, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) has once again accused the occupation regime of using hunger as a weapon against the civilian population of Gaza Strip.

In a statement on social media, Unrwa warned: “The Israeli authorities are hungry in Gaza. Among them are a million children.”

The government office in Gaza renewed its urgent call to end and end the continued fatal blockade: “Lift the siege: allow the NURTWA, food and medication.”

In the so-called “American-Israeli auxiliary centers”, which is called “death traps”, almost 900 people were killed by Israeli shots while looking for food aid. More than 5,666 others were injured and 42 missing.

The Israeli occupiers have also bombed or targeted:

• 57 auxiliary and food distribution centers
• 42 public kitchens
• Humanitarian convoys and auxiliary representations on 121 separate occasions

In the meantime, 12,500 cancer patients are exposed to the risk of death without access to treatment or nutrition, and around 60,000 pregnant women are exposed to serious health risks due to the lack of health care and food.

Certain countries are involved in the hunger campaign

The Gaza government's media office is fully responsible for the Israeli regime for the hunger crisis. However, it also accuses the countries of making genocide by silence, complicity or direct support, boss among them, the United States, Germany and France.

The office urgently asked the international community and the free world to take immediate measures in order to stop the regime's hunger directive, to open border crossings, to break the siege and to immediately enter the help.

“Some families have not eaten for days”

Mouhammed Bseil, spokesman for the civil defense of Gaza, said: “Some families have not eaten for days, and most people have no access to food.”

Even civil defense teams have problems. “Some of our own teams have not eaten for two days and survive alone in the water,” said Bseil, adding that the so -called “auxiliary centers” are purely political instruments, not humanitarian efforts.

He concluded with a dark warning: “The story will find that many people in Gaza were killed by hunger in the coming days.”
