BBC News, Jerusalem
Hamas -run Health Ministry has said that at least 33 Palestinians, including 12 children, have died as a result of malnutrition in the Gaza Strip.
A spokesman told the BBC that the death of 11 adults and four children was reported to be reported to the previous day.
This United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Gutres told the United Nations Security Council that “malnutrition is increasing” and “hungry on every door in Gaza”.
2.1 million population is facing a serious lack of basic supply, he said, and Israel is responsible for the convenience of human assistance by the United Nations and its partners.
Israel, which controls the crossing of Gaza, has insisted that it acts according to international law and ensuring that it does not reach Hamas.
International journalists, including the BBC, are prevented from entering Gaza independently by Israel, so it is difficult to verify the number of deaths reported by the reported malnutrition.
However, footage filmed by a local Palestinian journalist working for the BBC at Al-Aksa Shaheed Hospital in the Central City Dare Al-Bala showed the weak body of a man named Ahmed Al-Hasanat, who said that doctors said that on Tuesday, malnutrition died.
Health officials said that a 13-year-old boy, Abdul Hamid al-Ghalban also died in the southern city of Khan Younis. Pictures of AFP and Anadolu news agencies show that the teenager’s small body is being prepared to bury at Nasir Hospital and then taken to a white shroud.
Palestinian media meanwhile posted a video, showing the body of a six-week boy, Yusaf al-Safeedi, who said that he died at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza city due to malnutrition.
US -based medical human group Medglobal also said in a statement that its nutritional teams in Gaza had seen five seriously malnourished children, who were between three months and four years, die within the last three days.
“This is a deliberate and man -made disaster,” said Joseph Belivu, Executive Director of Medglobal. “Those children died because Gaza does not have enough food and does not have enough medicines including IV fluid and medical formula to revive them.”
Madglobal stated that since the beginning of July, primarily malnourished, mainly children’s affairs had almost three times their features, indicating a broader dining crisis.
The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) also said that it was receiving a “SOS” message from its employees in Gaza, saying they were strict than food.
Some UNRWA doctors and aid workers were allegedly fainting while working, due to hunger and exhaustion, it was added.
Earlier this week, the World Food Program (WFP) reported that malnutrition was increasing, with 90,000 women and children immediately required treatment, and that in three three in three was not eating for days.
It was noted that food aid was the only way for most people to use any food because prices in local markets skyrocketed. It said that the 1KG (2.2LB) bag of dough is now more than $ 100 (£ 74).
The WFP called for “a large scale scale in food aid distribution” and said that it had food supply nearby and had teams supply to the land ready to respond.
The United Nations says that at least 600 assistance launders need to enter Gaza in a day. However, the coordination of the United Nations Organization (OCHA) stated that it was allowed to assist 1,600 lorry between May and July only – an average of about 27 per day.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry said on Sunday that it had allowed 4,400 lorry load assistance to enter Gaza in the last two months, and that 700 loads were waiting for the United Nations agencies to be picked up from crossing points.
The United Nations has said that it struggles to take and distribute the supply due to the ongoing enmity, Israeli ban on human movements and fuel lack.
Israel launched a total blockade of aid delivery to Gaza in early March and resumed his military aggressive against Hamas two weeks later, the two -month ceasefire collapsed. It said that it wanted to pressurize the armed group to leave its remaining Israeli hostages.
Although the blockade was partially reduced in the end of May, the lack of food, medicine and fuel has deteriorated, amid a warning of an emerging famine from global experts.
There have also been almost daily reports of Palestinians being killed seeking assistance after Israel and the United States, which help set up a new aid system to bypass the existing overside by the United Nations.
The new system operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), began in late May, and uses American private security contractors to hand over food parcels from sites inside the military areas of Israel.
Israel says that the system prevents supply from the theft by Hamas.
But the United Nations and its partners have refused to cooperate with GHF, saying that it is unsafe and violates human principles of fairness, neutrality and freedom.
On Tuesday, the United Nations Human Rights Office said it had registered 766 people by the Israeli army in the vicinity of the assistance of GHF since starting work eight weeks ago. Another 288 murders were recorded along the routes of the United Nations and other aid convoys.
Antonio Gutres told the United Nations Security Council, “We are watching the last gasp of a human system built on human principles.” “This system is being denied the conditions of functioning, denied the place to give, denied security to save life.”
He also said that the intensive operation of the Israeli army and the orders of withdrawal in dir al-Bala meant that “destruction on destruction was being leveled”.
On Monday night, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that the Israeli ground operation in Dir al-Bala had compromised on its efforts to continue the work, after the residence of its employees and the main warehouse attack.
The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza on 7 October 2023 in response to the Hamas -led attack on Southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people and 251 others were taken hostage.
According to the health ministry of the region, at least 59,106 people have been killed in Gaza since then.
