The Government Information Office in Gaza warned in a statement that famine will strike the besieged people of the Gaza Strip in the absence of humanitarian aid.
“3,500 children are threatened with death due to malnutrition and the lack of nutritional supplements and vaccines, which are prohibited from entering the Gaza Strip,” the government’s media office said in a statement.
The statement called for the opening of the Rafah and Kerem Shalom land crossings, the entry of aid and goods, and an end to the “genocidal war that continues for the ninth consecutive month.”
