Gaza - Saba:
The Government Media Office in Gaza has warned in the strongest terms of an unprecedented and imminent humanitarian catastrophe being perpetrated by the "Israeli" enemy in the Gaza Strip. More than 100,000 children aged two and under, including 40,000 infants under the age of one, face the threat of imminent mass death within days, given the complete lack of baby formula and nutritional supplements, the continued closure of crossings, and the prevention of the entry of even the most basic necessities.
In a press statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the office said, "We are facing an anticipated and deliberate mass killing being perpetrated slowly against infants whose mothers have been feeding them water instead of formula for days, as a result of the policy of starvation and extermination pursued by the "Israeli" enemy."He added that hospitals and health centers have recorded hundreds of daily cases of severe, life-threatening malnutrition in recent days, with no capacity to respond or treat them due to the near-collapse of the health sector and the lack of medical and food resources.
The total number of deaths from famine and malnutrition has reached 122, including 83 children.
In an appeal in the name of humanity and the global conscience, the office demanded the immediate entry of baby formula and nutritional supplements into the Gaza Strip and the immediate and unconditional opening of the crossings.
The office called for the complete lifting of the criminal blockade and urgent international action to stop this slow-motion mass killing.
It held the "Israeli" enemy and the states involved in the genocide fully responsible for this imminent crime, warning that continued international silence constitutes blatant complicity in the genocide of children in Gaza.
