People in the Gaza Strip are risking their lives in search of food, water, and other supplies due to the level of hunger and despair induced by Israel’s persistent bombardment, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday.
“The system in Gaza is on its knees—it’s more than on its knees,” said WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier to reporters in Geneva. “All the lifelines in Gaza have more or less been cut.”
According to Lindmeier, this has resulted in a “desperate situation,” as seen by the deaths of over 100 people seeking humanitarian aid in Gaza on Thursday.
According to Gaza health officials, Israeli forces killed the Palestinians while they waited for aid to arrive. Israel blamed the deaths on the crowds that surrounded the rescue trucks.
