“The hospital system in Gaza has all but collapsed. We have paediatricians in field hospitals in Gaza who said that they are seeing cases of malnutrition. They are seeing hepatitis, jaundice, gastroenteritis. These are horrific challenges facing children. And we just do not have supplies or enough personnel to deal with this.”
Alexandra Saieh, head of humanitarian policy and advocacy at Save the Children International

A damning article on the Biden administration's complicity in the famine in Gaza and the use of starvation by Israel as a weapon of war.
In an internal collective dissent memo drafted this month by numerous employees of USAID, the staff assail the agency and the Biden administration for its “failure to uphold international humanitarian principles and to adhere to its mandate to save lives”.
Pres Biden is addressing the #famine in Gaza, but #Netanyahu isn't letting aid through. The US needs to prioritize protecting civilians.

Thousands of truck/trailers are stuck on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing since last week because of the Israeli occupation of the border. Most of the fresh products in the trucks have gone bad and there is a risk of other items to be destroyed if #Israel does not allow the help to get in.
Over 1 million Palestinians, most of the women, elderly and children are stuck in western #Rafah without access to food, medicine and water. The situation is getting worse every day as Israel keep bombing them and pushing forward with 100s of tanks and armored vehicles.
The Government Media Office in Gaza warns of a deep humanitarian disaster emerging from the Israeli occupation's invasion of eastern Rafah governorate and its occupation of the Rafah and "Kerem Shalom" crossings. This includes the blockade of medical and food aid, as well as the prevention of travel for thousands of patients and wounded individuals, indicating a genuine crisis in Gaza.
Over the past two days, the Israeli occupation has prevented the entry of more than 400 trucks carrying aid, food, medical supplies, and equipment. They also prohibited 159 cancer patients and wounded individuals from traveling outside Gaza for treatment.
The Israeli occupation's takeover of the #Rafah border crossing not only blocked the entry of humanitarian aid but forced the #WorldCentralKitchen TO HALT ITS OPERATIONS, forcing hundreds of Palestinians into even more difficulty in securing food.
In their statement, the WCK said, "Our field kitchens & community kitchens outside evacuation zones provided >168K meals in communities around Rafah & Deir al-Balah."
For the Palestinians in Gaza, the news is always more horrific than when the story was first reported. There're no words left to describe their plight💔:
