World must act with urgency to save Palestinians in Gaza, top UN officials say | United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs - Occupied Palestinian Territory

Statement by heads of OCHA, UNICEF, UNOPS, UNRWA, WFP, WHO and IOM For over a month, no commercial or humanitarian supplies have entered Gaza.  More than 2.1 million people are trapped, bombed and starved again, while, at crossing points, food, medicine, fuel and shelter supplies are piling up, and vital equipment is stuck.  Over 1,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured in just the first week after the breakdown of the ceasefire, the highest one-week death toll among children in Gaza in the past year.

More than 2.1 million people are trapped, bombed and starved again, while, at crossing points, food, medicine, fuel and shelter supplies are piling up, and vital equipment is stuck.

Over 1,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured in just the first week after the breakdown of the ceasefire, the highest one-week death toll among children in Gaza in the past year.

We are witnessing acts of war in Gaza that show an utter disregard for human life.

With the tightened Israeli blockade on Gaza now in its second month, we appeal to world leaders to act – firmly, urgently and decisively – to ensure the basic principles of international humanitarian law are upheld.

    I have been thinking about both Palestine and Ukraine. I hear a lot of words, and indirect support via aid, money, weapons (in Ukraines case), but no matter how bad countries say it is, no one is willing to commit anything further to actually defend these people which sadly makes their words fall short to me

      Ukraine receives just enough support to not lose from the West.

      Palestine has the Houthis and Iran stepping up.
