“Gaza is hell on earth. Our own staff are fainting on duty from hunger and exhaustion,” says UNRWA Juliette Touma to BBC.
During the ceasefire, 500–600 trucks a day entered #Gaza with aid from the UN, including UNRWA. That’s what prevented famine before.
That system must be restored.

We're now at nearly 100 Palestinians killed in 2 days by the Israelis while waiting at food centers / for food trucks.
They are clearly gathering them in a few locations to make it easier to kill as many as they can.

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.
The Last Hospitals in Gaza
