A spokesman for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), Adnan Abu Hasna, warned that the Gaza Strip has been on the verge of famine due to the scarcity of food.
Abu Hasna said in an interview with “Novosti” agency that “the agency’s food stores have become empty and the materials are running out very quickly, and we are on the threshold of real famine that will affect 2.3 million Palestinians from different regions of the Gaza Strip,” stressing that the current period is the most difficult period since the Israeli war began on the Strip in October 2023.
He added: “We are talking about a tragic image, there are thousands of hungry in various regions of the Gaza Strip, even the remaining materials that the commercial sector in the ceasefire period is sold at astronomical prices, most of the residents of the Gaza Strip have no ability to buy it, and we are talking about a sanitation system and a devastating water system, and electricity is not present, we live in dark days, it may be the most difficult since the seventh of October until now.”

Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz retracted his statement this morning, Wednesday, about the introduction of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, after criticizing him from within the government, which opposed the introduction of aid, which the government prevented to enter long weeks ago.
“The position of the Israeli political level is that preventing the entry of humanitarian aid to the Strip is harmful to Hamas’s control over the Gazan population,” Katz said in a statement, noting that he seeks to “set a distribution mechanism [للمساعدات] By civil companies later, “he also warned that” if Hamas continues to refuse [الإفراج عن أسرى إسرائيليين] The military operations will expand and move to the coming stages. “
But after ministers criticized his statement, Katz retreated and said that “no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and to prevent humanitarian aid to Gaza is one of the central pressure tools that prevent Hamas from using this tool.” He continued, “Israel is not preparing to introduce aid in the short period. Rather, the system of using civil companies in the future must be built as a tool that does not allow Hamas to reach this issue in the future as well.”
