The head of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), Jonathan Whittall, confirmed on Sunday that supplies are running out and relief organizations’ ability to operate is declining amid the increasing humanitarian needs in the Gaza Strip.

Whittall said in a statement: “Humanitarian agencies continue to work wherever they can to meet the needs of the population.”

He stressed that “the population in the Gaza Strip is suffocating and experiencing endless suffering as the complete closure has continued for nearly two months.”

Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), said yesterday, Saturday, that Gaza’s children are starving due to the deliberate starvation policy pursued by Israel, which has continued to close the Gaza Strip’s crossings and prevent the entry of food and other essentials since March 2.

“Children are starving in Gaza,” Lazzarini added in statements via the X platform. “Israel continues to prevent the entry of food and other essentials.

This is a man-made, politically motivated starvation.”
Lazzarini explained that the tight blockade imposed by Israel since March 2nd is approaching its second month.

He concluded by saying that this continues while “calls for the entry of supplies fall on deaf ears.”

Earlier on Friday, the United Nations World Food Programme announced that its food stocks in Gaza had completely run out due to the blockade.
