The French NGO doctors without Bofers (MSF) have accused Israel to deliberately starve the Palestinians in Gaza as a weapon of war, warning that their own employees in the enclave were struggling to find suffering food.
In a statement released on Friday, MSF reported that one of every four children aged six months and five, as well as every four pregnant and breastfeeding women, was malnourished in the destroyed enclave.
Since May 18, the number of people enrolled for malnutrition treatment has quadrupled, where the rate of severe malnutrition in children under five has tripled in the last two weeks.
“It’s not just hungry , It is deliberately starvated, produced by Israeli officials, “read the statement.” The weaponization of food should not be normalized to put pressure on a civilian population. ,
The organization greatly reduced the US and Israel -backed Gaza Humanitrian Foundation (GHF) on almost daily deaths of Palestinians shot by Israeli officials near its distribution centers.
The MSF head of emergency reaction in Gaza, AIIMSF Bazerol says, “Everything we are doing is unconscious;” Any part of humanity in Gaza is erased in the ongoing massacre. “
The report states that food shortage is “no longer about what people can tolerate. Most of the strips have barely any food available.”
Meanwhile, Reuters interviewed the representative of the United Nations and the Humanitraian agency, who said the enclave was on the verge of exiting the special medical food required to save seriously malnourished children.
A spokesperson of UNICEF in Amman, Salim Ovis, Jordan told the Reuters that the ready-to-ferry medical food (Rutf) supply for a significant treatment, if nothing has changed, would end to the mid-August.
