SAEDNEWS: The spokesperson for UN aid coordination office expressed concerns over the alarming situation in the Gaza Strip.
According to Saednews, The spokesperson for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (O.C.H.A.) has described the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip as unprecedented and alarming.
According to Al Jazeera report, Jens Laerke said the killing of people while they are struggling to find food is unacceptable.
People are effectively left to die from starvation, about which O.C.H.A. cannot remain silent, he added
He urged protecting civilians and doing investigation into the distribution of food aid. The level of crisis in Gaza cannot be justified under any humanitarian circumstances.
The United Nations on Monday called on Israel to immediately ease access and entry of critical supplies into Gaza through existing crossings to address the urgent needs of the civilian population.
Speaking to reporters, Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General said, “Civilians must be respected and protected.”
“The Secretary-General welcomes the continued efforts by the mediators and reiterates his appeal to the parties to urgently reach a permanent ceasefire in Gaza,” he stated.
At least 56,500 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and another 133,419 individuals injured in the brutal Israeli onslaught on Gaza since October 7, 2023.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant, citing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the besieged coastal territory.
