In Gaza, healthcare professionals report fainting on duty from hunger and exhaustion. UNRWA officials highlight the dire conditions, stating that doctors and humanitarian workers are also in need of assistance. The ongoing conflict has led to mass civilian casualties, with hospitals overwhelmed and struggling to manage hunger-related health issues. International calls for action amidst the humanitarian crisis have not translated into increased aid supplies. Israel’s military emphasizes the importance of facilitating humanitarian assistance, while also accusing Hamas of diverting aid.
"No one is spared: caretakers in Gaza are also in need of care. Doctors, nurses, journalists, and humanitarians are hungry," UNRWA Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini said in a statement.
"Hospitals are already overwhelmed by the number of casualties from gunfire. They can't provide much more help for hunger-related symptoms because of food and medicine shortages," said Khalil al-Deqran, a spokesperson for the health ministry.
