Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Following continued international warnings about the severe and unprecedented humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip in light of the continued brutal attacks and heavy siege by the occupying regime against the strip, "Mariana Spiliarik-Eger", the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross, announced that Gaza has become hell on earth and that the equipment of the field hospitals in the strip will run out within two weeks.
This international official stated in an interview with Reuters from the headquarters of the Red Cross Committee in Geneva: "We are now in a situation where we must describe Gaza as hell on earth; Where people in many areas have no access to water, electricity or food.
He added: "Stocks are dangerously low and nothing has entered Gaza for the past six weeks, so in two weeks all the equipment needed to keep hospitals functioning will be gone."
The head of the International Committee of the Red Cross also expressed deep concern about the security situation in Gaza, saying that the security situation in Gaza is particularly dangerous for humanitarian organizations. Last month, the bodies of 15 aid workers, including eight from the Palestine Red Crescent Society, were found in a mass grave in southern Gaza, and it was determined that Israeli forces were responsible for their killing.
The World Health Organization also reported that stocks of antibiotics and blood bags in Gaza are rapidly running out. Richard Piper Korn, the WHO representative in the occupied Palestinian territories, announced that 22 of the 36 hospitals in Gaza are operating at minimum capacity and are in the process of closing.
Inas Hamdan, Director of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) Office in Gaza, also announced: “The Israeli authorities have been preventing humanitarian aid and commercial supplies from entering the Gaza Strip for more than a month, leading to a significant shortage of essential goods, and the small amount of aid that remains will run out in the next few days.”
The UNRWA official stated: “Medical supplies and food supplies are running out in the Gaza Strip, and the humanitarian crisis is worsening in terms of both food security and the health situation. The Israeli authorities have thwarted the efforts of humanitarian organizations to coordinate the delivery of aid to Gaza, and we call for the lifting of the blockade of Gaza and the immediate and uninterrupted entry of humanitarian aid into the region.”
Referring to the deliberate attacks by the Zionists against aid workers and staff of humanitarian agencies in Gaza, he said: “Targeting the personnel of humanitarian organizations and their facilities is a violation of international law.” During the war, 284 of our agency’s staff have lost their lives in Israeli attacks, a shocking number in the agency’s history. Nearly 300 UNRWA facilities in Gaza have been fully or partially damaged, and our agency shares the coordinates of our facilities with the parties to the conflict daily. At least 740 people have also lost their lives in UNRWA shelters as a result of Israeli attacks.
