The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that the residents of the Gaza Strip “have lost all the necessities of life,” calling for the opening of the crossings and the entry of sufficient food aid into the Strip.
The agency added that people “in Gaza need everything and are living in very desperate times, and the only response to that is to provide more aid.”
UNRWA also tweeted on its X site, saying: “Garbage is piling up everywhere, and people are living under plastic covers as temperatures soar.”
“Families in Gaza live next to mountains of garbage and sewage, and with very few bathrooms and unbearable summer heat, health conditions are desperate,” she added.
The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, described the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to an unprecedented Israeli aggression for nearly 9 months, as “almost hopeless,” pointing to the need to “confront famine and confront the deterioration of the situation in the southern Gaza Strip.”
The Israeli army continues its intensive and comprehensive bombardment of the Gaza Strip, leaving tens of thousands dead, wounded and missing, and causing massive destruction to infrastructure, facilities and vital installations, in addition to the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe it has caused in the Gaza Strip.
