The latest reports of food insecurity in #Gaza is heartbreaking. More than two months without lifesaving supplies are further deepening the humanitarian crisis and starvation across Gaza. Full statement by CARE Palestine Country Director Jolien Veldwijk: “It is unconscionable that this man-made situation will see Palestinians across Gaza – many of whom are already skin and bones – face the grueling fate of slow, painful starvation and the shadow of death from hunger." “For more than a year and a half, we have witnessed the spread of starvation across Gaza, which has accelerated since the Israeli Government’s block on aid, a siege that has been going on for over two months now. The trauma of watching family members and friends get thinner and weaker is haunting. Mothers are bringing babies weighing as little as (2kg/4.4 lbs) to our clinic: children, the sick and the elderly are suffering the most. Meanwhile, supplies that could be used to treat them sit just a few kilometers away at the border, blocked." “After more than 18 months of ever-deepening suffering in Gaza and two months of total siege we urge the international community to exhaust every effort to secure an immediate and lasting ceasefire and a return of the hostages. To prevent continued starvation and further death, Israel must allow humanitarian aid to flow at scale, safely and unhindered into and throughout Gaza.” (fb)
