More than 66,000 children in the Gaza Strip are suffering from severe malnutrition due to the starvation policy that Israel continues to implement, following the closure of the crossings and the prevention of the entry of relief aid for more than two months.
Since March 2, the Israeli occupation authorities have closed the crossings with the Gaza Strip to the entry of food, relief, medical aid, and goods, causing a significant deterioration in the humanitarian situation for Palestinians.
Approximately 2.1 million people in the Gaza Strip are suffering from a severe water crisis with nearly 70 percent of the Strip’s water infrastructure has been systematically destroyed as a result of the Israeli military.
HE Tamer Almassri, the Ambassador of Palestine to Zimbabwe, reiterates that a war of extermination is being waged against the Palestinian people, and whoever remains silent about this destruction targeting entire families is an eternal accomplice in one of the most serious crimes recorded in history.
The death toll from starvation has risen to 57 since the beginning of the aggression, warning of an increase in the number, given the closure of the crossings and the prevention of the entry of relief aid for more than two months.
Since October 2023, the Israeli occupation forces have waged an ongoing offensive on the Gaza Strip, which has so far resulted in the martyring of 52,567 civilians, the majority of whom are children and women, and the injury of 118,610 others.
