“Turning to the situation in the Gaza Strip, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warns that more Palestinians were reportedly killed over the weekend while attempting to get to food. Partners tell us that several hospitals are overwhelmed, as they saw a surge in patients injured while seeking aid. We again clearly condemn the killing of all civilians.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, United Nations:
“A recent assessment by the World Food Programme shows nearly 1 out of every 3 people has not eaten for days in Gaza, placing more people at risk of starvation. The World Food Programme’s Deputy Executive Director, Carl Skau, visited Gaza city last week to speak with families and assess the humanitarian situation. He described the situation as the worst he’s ever seen, with people dying just trying to get food.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, United Nations:
“OCHA reiterates that, in the face of massive and ever-increasing humanitarian needs, the Israeli authorities must open all available crossings, fully facilitate humanitarian access inside Gaza, and protect civilians – in line with their obligations under international humanitarian law.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Meanwhile, for the fourth straight month now, the Israeli authorities have not allowed any fuel to enter Gaza. Virtually all of our remaining fuel has been allocated to lifesaving efforts. Service providers such as hospitals have been rationing supplies, but this cannot sustain life-saving operations for much longer. The absence of accessible fuel means no ambulances, no electricity for hospitals, and no clean water for anyone. Fuel is a lifeline in Gaza, and Israeli authorities must allow this commodity to enter without any further delay.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Today, we and our partners working in telecommunications warned that Gaza could suffer from an Internet blackout imminently, due to the shortage of fuel. Meanwhile, yesterday, Israeli authorities issued another displacement order for parts of Khan Younis – for the second time in two days. Our colleagues estimate that more than 50,000 people are in the areas slated for displacement. We remind you that since the end of the ceasefire in March, more than 700,000 human beings have been displaced in Gaza. Many have been displaced more than once, and they have no safe place to go.”

“Overcrowding is particularly acute in Al Mawasi and other coastal areas. Yesterday, the UN Population Fund said in a social media post that amid food scarcity and soaring malnutrition, women continue to bear the immense burden of finding food to feed their families. Most women report depression or suffer from nightmares and anxiety. Yesterday, Israeli authorities denied three out of eight coordination attempts, hindering our teams’ ability to carry out critical operations. We call for immediate, unimpeded humanitarian access so that aid can reach people across Gaza, including in the north.”
