UN aid organizations warned on Friday that dwindling food and fuel stocks may cause aid operations to come to a halt in Gaza as critical crossings are closed, forcing hospitals to shut, and increasing malnutrition, as a result.
This year, humanitarian workers raised the alarm that the Rafah and Kerem Shalom intersections, where around 1 million people had been sheltering, are now closed for support and people, as part of Israel’s martial activity there.
A limited functioning in Rafah, according to the Jewish military, was intended to end combatants and destroy Hamas’s control of the besieged Palestinian territory.
Hamish Young, the UNICEF Senior Emergency Coordinator in the Gaza Strip, stated,” We are scraping the bottom of the barrel for five days, no energy, and essentially no humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip.”
In a few days, he said,” If this is already a large issue for the people and all humanitarian stars,” the lack of energy could bring humanitarian operations to a halt.
More than 100, 000 people have fled Rafah in the last five times, he added.
