New York - Saba:
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has called for an end to the food blockade on the Gaza Strip, which has been ongoing for nine weeks, especially as the lives of 2.1 million people in the Strip are at stake.
The UN office confirmed on its official website that its stocks are nearly depleted as the comprehensive Israeli blockade on Gaza enters its third month.
Separately, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) stated that more than nine weeks have passed since the blockade of Gaza began, during which Israel prevents the entry of all humanitarian, medical, and commercial aid.
It added that the longer this blockade continues, the greater the irreparable damage to the lives of countless people.
The UN agency confirmed that thousands of its trucks are ready to enter, noting that its teams in Gaza are prepared to expand deliveries.
In this context, a report by the United Nations Satellite Imagery Analysis Program showed that approximately 81% of the arable land in the Gaza Strip has seen a significant decline in agricultural yields.
The UN report stated that the destruction of agricultural land resulted from the bombing and bulldozing operations carried out by the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.
Since March 2, the Israeli enemy has prevented the entry of all relief, food, and medical aid into the Gaza Strip, on which the population depends entirely for survival.
