According to a report by the United Nations Humanitarian Affairs Coordination Office (OCHA) published today Wednesday, December 20, 2023, half of the Gaza population suffers from extreme or severe hunger, and 90 % is regularly deprived of food for an entire day.
“Without drinking water, food and sanitary facilities that only a humanitarian ceasefire can bring, the deaths of children due to the disease could exceed those who are due to bombing,” warned, a spokesperson for UNICEF.
Only 10 % of foodstuffs currently necessary have entered the Gaza Strip in the last seventy days, according to the report.
127 aid and goods trucks entered the territory on Tuesday by the Rafah passing points, via Egypt, and Kerem Shalom, in southern Israel, these supplies are far from meeting the most basic needs of the population.
