Meanwhile Thursday and again on Saturday, Palestinian Islamic activists and Hamas activists have published disturbing videos of two emaciated Israeli hostages, aroused world indignation and the conviction of UN leaders, including Secretary General António Guterres Monday.
The illustrated hostages, Roma Braslavsk and Evyatar David, are two of the 49 still detained in Gaza, including 27 which, according to the Israeli army, are dead.
During the daily briefing on Monday in New York, the UN deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said that the secretary general “was very shocked by this unacceptable violation of human dignity”.
The UN Rights Volker Türk added in a declaration That it was dismayed by the humiliating treatment of the hostages. He and the Under-Secretary General of Humanitarian Affairs, Tom Fletcher, reiterated Their call for an unconditional immediate release of all hostages is still organized since the terrorist attacks on October 7.
The High Commissioner said that the “intolerable” view of the famine in Gaza recalled that violence should end. “Saving lives must be everyone’s priority. »»
He called on Israel to immediately allow and facilitate rapid and unhindered help: “refusing civilians access to food can constitute a war crime, as well as potentially a crime against humanity.”
Attack against humanitarian workers
On Sunday, the Israeli army would have struck the seat of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society in Khan Younis, killing one and injuring three other staff members.
The installation is marked with the emblem of the red crescent and is therefore protected by international humanitarian law.
The United Nations Rights Office (Ohchr) in Palestine expressed Deep shock and outrage in the face of these murders.
“These workers continue to engage in life safeguard efforts by putting their own life in danger,” said the OHCHR.
Help entry
In the midst of these controversies, the director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, published on social networks On Saturday, saying that since Friday, the agency had brought 24 trucks with medical supplies in Gaza.
The articles included essential drugs, trauma and surgery supplies, treatments for non -transmitted diseases and laboratory and water supplies.
Mr. Haq also pointed out on Monday that in recent days, the UN and its partners have collected wheat flour, ready -to -eat rations and hot meals, passing by Gaza points, but most of the cargo was taken by hungry and desperate before reaching the expected destinations.
In addition, hygiene kits and nutrition supplies, including high energy cookies for pregnant women and breastfeeding and infants preparations, entered last week.
However, during the second week since the Israeli announcement of the tactical breaks to allow safe passages for the United Nations help convoys, Mr. Haq said that realities on the ground remain largely the same.
This includes many challenges to provide help, which led to the obstacle of two of the 11 missions on Sunday and the full passage of only seven.
Famine conditions
This help is always a fraction of what is necessary, as a catastrophic food crisis aggravates through the band.
The world gastronomic program (Wfp)) said He “does everything possible to distribute vital food assistance to families”, but reported on Sunday that more than half a million people in Gaza are undergoing famine type conditions.
The United Nations Help Agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) released a audio De Manar, an employee who works in Gaza on Monday. She said that “food is never sufficient” and that many work in heat for hours to search for food and medical supplies.
The Commissioner General of UNRWA, Philippe Lazzarini, underlines The fact that this quasi-family is largely due to deliberate efforts to dismantle the non-coordinated humanitarian system through the Israeli Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and supported by the United States (GHF), which is responsible for the murder On nearly 1,400 Palestinians hungry near its sites and convoy routes, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
Priorifying the GHF, Israel has prevented UNRWA-“the backbone of the humanitarian response”-from provoking aid since March 2, he said.
