Follow-up – Al-Rashid
Today, Thursday, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres denounced the killing of dozens of Palestinians in Gaza, as a result of the Israeli occupation forces targeting them while they were receiving humanitarian aid.
Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the United Nations Secretary-General, said in a statement, “United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemns the killing of dozens of Palestinians while delivering humanitarian aid in northern Gaza.”
He added, “Desperate civilians in Gaza need urgent assistance, including those in besieged northern Gaza, where the United Nations has not been able to deliver aid for several weeks,” adding that Guterres “felt shocked by these tragic human losses resulting from the conflict.” “.
The Zionist entity’s targeting of a group of Palestinian citizens on Thursday, while they were waiting for trucks carrying humanitarian aid to arrive at the Nabulsi roundabout near Al-Rashid Street in the northwest of the Gaza Strip, resulted in the death of more than 100 people and the injury of more than 1,000 others.
The areas of the northern Gaza Strip are suffering from a miserable and tragic situation due to the complete loss of food supplies and clean water sources. The Gaza Ministry of Health recorded the death of a number of citizens due to hunger and malnutrition.
For its part, Oxfam indicated the spread of malnutrition, and reports were issued of deaths due to hunger. The organization’s partners reported people drinking toilet water, eating wild plants, and using animal feed to make bread. They spoke of “catastrophic famine” and their fear of starvation in the absence of progress on access, aid and security.
The United Nations confirmed last Tuesday that Israeli forces are “systematically” preventing aid from reaching the residents of Gaza who need it, which complicates the task of delivering it to a war zone that is not subject to any law.
The UN rapporteur on the right to food also said that Israel is deliberately starving the Palestinians, stressing that “it must be held accountable for war crimes and genocide.”
