Israel block in Gaza prevents access to food and fuel and can kill thousands of hunger

The population of the Gaza Strip faces widespread scarcity of food, medicines and fuels, according to information released on Saturday, 9, by the broadcaster Al Jazeera.

According to the survey, about 2.3 million people are in a situation of extreme need, affected by the suspension of humanitarian deliveries to the region.

The broadcaster attributes the situation to the blockade imposed by Israel, which interrupted the entry of essential supplies into Palestinian territory.

Fuel supply cut has been pointed out as one of the main aggravating factors of the crisis, directly affecting energy generation and hindering the heating of homes.

According to Al Jazeera, there has been no fuel delivery to Gaza in the last seven days. The absence of this resource compromises the operation of hospitals, water supply units and other structures considered essential for the survival of the local population.

With the interruption of humanitarian remittances and without access to building materials, residents of the region have used rubble and debris to improvise shelters.

“They seek any material available in wreckage,” said the station, reporting the conditions faced by civilians.

The humanitarian crisis has worsened in recent months, with increased intensity of attacks and blockages over the territory.

International organizations warn of the risk of collapse in health care and food supply systems. Recent reports point to destruction of hospitals, restriction on the operation of health facilities and drug scarcity.

Humanitarian aid entities indicate that the obstruction of delivery routes makes it difficult to mobilize emergency resources. Supply trucks remain in borders while increasing malnutrition reports and lack of medical care in various areas of the enclave.

The consequences of the block have achieved different sectors of local infrastructure. Without fuel, water distribution networks operate with limitations, compromising the population’s access to safe sources of consumption.

The same occurs with the sanitation and refrigeration systems, which depend on electricity for continuous operation.

Al Jazeera points out that the situation mainly affects displaced families and communities in areas affected by recent bombing.

With no shelter alternatives and scarce supplies, part of the population began to erect temporary structures with materials recovered between the rubble. The number of homelessness increases, as well as the difficulties in meeting basic demands.

Multilateral organisms warn that, maintaining the current restrictions, the scenario can evolve into a large -scale hunger.

Preliminary reports of humanitarian agencies point to deterioration in the nutritional conditions of the population and increase cases of diseases related to the lack of sanitation and medical care.

The station also reports that interruption of drug access has a direct impact on patients with chronic diseases, pregnant women, children and injured in the latest clashes. The operational capacity of remaining hospitals is limited, with scarcity of inputs, professionals and equipment.

Humanitarian block has been the subject of appeals by international organizations. Entities ask for the opening of safe aids to deliver help and the adoption of emergency measures that guarantee access to basic survival items. To date, there has been no indication of flexibility by the Israeli authorities.

Representatives of international organizations reiterate that the continuity of restrictions compromises efforts for humanitarian care. The absence of security guarantees for assistance agents and loads aggravates the scenario and makes it difficult to respond to emergency needs.

Al Jazeera also mentions the absence of financial resources for the reconstruction of affected areas. The lack of financing and inputs limits the recovery of destroyed structures and compromises the resumption of essential public services.

The situation of the Gaza range remains under monitoring of different United Nations agencies and non -governmental organizations. To date, there is no prospect of solution for blocking or normalizing supply delivery.

The humanitarian crisis in the region is still the subject of discussions in international forums, especially the demand for immediate actions that guarantee the flow of help to the affected population.
