New York - Saba:
Gaza's children are starving due to the deliberate starvation policy pursued by Israel, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said on Friday, as the occupier has continued to close the crossings to the Strip and prevent the entry of food and other essentials since March 2.
"In Gaza, children are starving," Philippe Lazaryny added in statements via the X platform.
"The Israeli government continues to block the entry of food and other essentials. This is a man-made, politically motivated starvation."
Earlier Friday, the United Nations World Food Program announced that its food stocks in Gaza had completely run out due to the blockade.
Lazaryny also explained that the tightened blockade imposed by Israel since March 2nd is nearing its second month.
He concluded by saying that this continues while "calls for the entry of supplies fall on deaf ears."
