🔴 Eating unsafe wild food 🔴 Baking bread with animal feed 🔴 Sending children on dangerous journeys to find food People in #Gaza are resorting to desperate measures to survive. Civilians' essential needs must be met, including by facilitating unimpeded humanitarian access.

Famine is imminent in #Gaza. More than 1 million people are at risk because they have been cut off from life-saving aid. "We know that once famine is declared, it is way too late. We also know that, with action and goodwill, it can be averted," stresses Tom Fletcher.

"From this crossing, we see the heartbreak & heartlessness of it all. A long line of blocked relief trucks on one side of the gates. The long shadow of starvation on the other. That is more than tragic. It is a moral outrage." – António Guterres at Rafah. news.un.org/en/story/2024/…

Today I saw long lines of blocked relief trucks waiting to be let into Gaza. It’s time to truly flood Gaza with life-saving aid. The choice is clear: surge or starvation. Let’s choose the side of help, the side of hope & the right side of history. I will not give up.

It is simply unacceptable to use starvation as a weapon of war. The people of Gaza are dying a slow death, while the world watches on. The international community must demand that aid is allowed to get to all of the people of Gaza suffering, including those in the North.

Famine is imminent in north Gaza. Children are dying of malnutrition and dehydration.   Aid organizations MUST have full and safe access to reach children and families in need everywhere in #Gaza.   The lives and well-being of children are hanging in the balance.

Gaza starvation could amount to war crime, says UN human rights chief bbc.in/3vw55sI

❗️ Urgent reminder: There's no alternative to large-scale deliveries of aid by land in #Gaza. Swift, safe and unimpeded humanitarian passage through all crossings is paramount. Time is of the essence. But security challenges, access constraints and other limitations persist. 👇
