In reply to the discussion: Man-made mass starvation in Gaza, WHO chief says [View all]Eko
(9,729 posts)8. More than 100 organizations are sounding the alarm to allow lifesaving aid into Gaza

As the Israeli governments siege starves the people of Gaza, aid workers are now joining the same food lines, risking being shot just to feed their families. With supplies now totally depleted, humanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes.
Exactly two months since the Israeli government-controlled scheme, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, began operating, Oxfam and more than 100 organisations are sounding the alarm, urging governments to act: open all land crossings; restore the full flow of food, clean water, medical supplies, shelter items, and fuel through a principled, UN-led mechanism; end the siege, and agree to a ceasefire now.
Just outside Gaza, in warehouses - and even within Gaza itself - tons of food, clean water, medical supplies, shelter items and fuel sit untouched with humanitarian organisations blocked from accessing or delivering them. The Government of Israels restrictions, delays, and fragmentation under its total siege have created chaos, starvation, and death.
An aid worker providing psychosocial support spoke of the devastating impact on children: Children tell their parents they want to go to heaven, because at least heaven has food.
