The head of Humanitarian Affairs of the United Nations, Martin Griffiths, has assured that The Gaza Strip is “on its knees” and its inhabitants are being “murdered” behind the Death of at least 500 people due to a bombing on the Al Ahli hospitallocated in the north of the enclave.

“Hundreds of people have been killed. Gaza is on its knees. Health, water and sanitation systems are collapsing. “People are being stripped of their dignity,” Griffiths said on the social network and beyond”.

Along the same lines, the World Health Organization has recalled that We can no longer wait for the opening of the Rafah border crossingwhich connects Egypt with the Gaza Strip – the only one that is not under Israeli control – and through which much-needed aid can be delivered to the population suffering the consequences of the war between Israel and the Islamist movement Hamas.

“We need (the opening) to happen now, we cannot continue waiting,” declared the organization’s Director of Health Emergencies, Mike Ryan. “The aid shipments are ready, at the border, we are waiting for them to enter. They are urgently needed, this horror has to stop,” said the organization’s representative for Palestine, Richard Peeperkorn, in a press video conference after learning of the attack on the hospital in Gaza.

The Egyptian authorities have justified their decision to keep that crossing closed by the attacks that Israel has carried out in the vicinitywhich puts at risk all the people and vehicles required for a humanitarian operation of this type.

According to humanitarian organizations, two million Gazans are desperately waiting for help to survive. Ryan admitted that There have been discussions about the possibility of air dropping aid into Gaza, but it has been ruled out for the moment because this involves very complex logistics and there must be people prepared on the ground to receive the packages.

The director of the WHO office for the Eastern Mediterranean, Ahmed al Mandhari, assured that UN humanitarian aid has been ready in Egypt for more than 72 hours waiting to be distributed to the Gaza Strip and He requested access to the enclave.

“We have repeatedly called for humanitarian aid access to the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing from Egypt, where our urgently needed supplies have been ready for over 72 hours and waiting to be distributed,” he said in a speech.

Proof of the extreme situation in which the Palestinian territory finds itself are the words that he spoke this Tuesday Kayed HammadGazette producer and translator, in Al Rojo Vivo: “Every ten minutes a Palestinian dies inside the Gaza Strip”

So much so that the hospitals are overflowing and have nowhere to put the bodies: “They are using freezer trucks. They put the bodies there to keep them until they can be buried,” Hammad added.

He also explained the milestone and “miracle” that they achieved this Tuesday, a 20-liter bottle of water: “It’s not drinkable, but we’ll drink it anyway. And we have also found some food, some pasta but the children are going to eat it because I don’t feel like it,” Hammad said.
