“Many cases were recorded in government hospitals of children who died due to malnutrition,” ActionAid quoted Mohammed Salih, director of Al-Awda, as saying. Al-Awda is ActionAid’s partner in northern Gaza.
“We are a hospital specialised in women’s services and childbirth. There are many operations that have been performed, like caesarean sections to remove fetuses, [which] died due to malnutrition among women. More than 95 per cent of women [who] come to the hospital and undergo the necessary medical examinations [are suffering] from anaemia,” Salih added.
ActionAid warned in its statement that an: “Already extremely strained humanitarian system will face total collapse amidst the apparent looming offensive of Rafah.”
The organisation quoted Amjad Al-Shawa of the Palestinian NGOs Network in Gaza stating that the: “Airdrop [of humanitarian aid] is not enough at all in such conditions; there is a need for land transportation of aid. Every day, we’re in [dire] need of 4,000 truckloads in order to cover the basic needs of these people.”
