UN agency says staff fainting from hunger as starvation spreads in Gaza
Briefly

The situation in Gaza has reached a critical point, with reports of starvation and death affecting the population. Philippe Lazzarini from Unrwa reported that staff are fainting from hunger. At least 113 people have died from starvation, with 45 fatalities in just four days. Unrwa has substantial food and medical supplies waiting in other countries but cannot deliver them due to the Israeli blockade. The humanitarian crisis is collapsing as caregivers struggle to find food, worsening the already dire conditions for those in Gaza, marked by images of severely malnourished people.
Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, stated that people in Gaza are 'walking corpses' due to the starvation crisis exacerbated by the Israeli blockade.
Reports indicate that at least 113 people have died from hunger in Gaza, with 45 deaths occurring in just the last four days.
Lazzarini mentioned Unrwa is waiting to deliver 6,000 loaded trucks of food and medical supplies in Jordan and Egypt, calling for Israel to allow humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Civil defence workers have released disturbing images showing malnourished individuals with little more than skin covering their bones, illustrating the dire situation in Gaza.
