And warns of acute famine in Gaza
The worst scenarios of a famine are currently taking place in the Gaza strip, such as a Warning of the integrated classification of the nutritional situation (IPC) reported, which is supported by the United Nations.
urgent humanitarian crisis in the Gaza strip
According to the IPC, the conflict , which leads to a dramatic decrease in access and other vital goods. This had dropped to an unprecedented level. "Increasing evidence show that widespread famine, malnutrition and illnesses make the number of hunger -related deaths rise," says the report.
alarming statistics on the nutritional situation
The IPC, however, has emphasized that the current warning is not to be understood as a formal determination of a famine, but aims to "urgently draw attention to the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation." According to the information, more than 20,000 children were treated between April and mid -July due to acute malnutrition.
The latest data show that the hunger boundaries in most parts of the Gaza strip and for acute malnutrition in Gaza city have been reached. The IPC calls for “immediate measures” to end hostility and to enable an “unintelligent, large -scale, life -saving humanitarian answer”.
international reactions and political demands
The international community increases the pressure on Israel to end the blockade, to let humanitarian aid to Gaza and to stop the war. In a remarkable statement, US President Donald Trump commented on Monday and spoke of "real famine" in Gaza, which in contradiction is contrary to the previous statements of Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who denies that there is a famine.
auxiliary measures and military activities
Trump announced that the United States will set up “food centers” in Gaza to counter the crisis. Vice President JD Vance described heartbreaking pictures from the besieged area in which hungry children can be seen. He asked Israel to allow humanitarian aid more and explained that “we also have to lead the fight against Hamas to prevent these people from blocking food in the area.”
Last weekend, Israel announced a daily “tactical break in the military activities” in three areas of Gaza in order to provide more relief goods to people. This measure is intended to “refute the wrong claim of the extreme famine in the Gaza strip.”
terrifying numbers on the number of victims
In the meantime, the Ministry of Health in Gaza reported on Tuesday that more than 60,000 Palestinians had been killed since the beginning of the war against Hamas almost two years ago. 113 deaths have been reported in the last 24 hours, which increases the total number to 60,034. This message falls during a time when hopes for an soon -to -ceasefire will disappear after the talks were canceled without agreement last week.The dispute began after an attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023 on Israel, in which around 1,200 people were killed and around 250 others were taken hostage. It is believed that the true number of victims could be much higher, since many thousands are still under the debris. Although Israel's government does not deny that a significant number of Palestinian civilians were killed in the attacks, it claims that the numbers are exaggerated by the health authorities controlled by Hamas.
On Monday, two leading Israeli human rights organizations of Israel accused of "committing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza". The organization B’tselem said that this “clear conclusion” came after examining Israeli politics in the Gaza strip. A second group, Doctors for Human Rights Israel (Phri) , followed B’tselem and described the Israeli actions as genocide. This organization published a separate legal and medical analysis that documents the "deliberate and systematic extermination of the health system in Gaza".
A spokesman for the Israeli government, David Mencer, rejected the report and explained: "We have freedom of expression in this country, but we decide this claim." He added that Israel continues to help humanitarian aid to Gaza.
