The UN agency on Wednesday pointed out that the Gaza Strip had a large -scale humanitarian aid material to the Gaza Strip on Wednesday 19 January.
Despite this, the situation is very serious due to the war that continued for the last 15 months and the devastation caused by it, and huge requirements are intact. During the violent confrontation, the support supplies of the Israeli military forces were often not allowed to go to Gaza, or there were obstructions in their way.
Giving information from Gaza, Communications Officer Rosalia at UNICEF said that other important medical items and equipment including vaccine, vantilator are not being transported there, which can have horrific results for children and their parents.
He said in a conversation with UN News that if we are unable to deliver these medical goods there, then the regular vaccination campaign will be completely stalled. The care of children born ahead of time will be difficult, whose consequences can be revealed.
Rosalia Balan said that the supply delivered here has been broadly distributed and hence the supply of relief material will have to be started as soon as possible.
“The requirements are so high that we have not been able to store the goods … and so these latest bandis are extremely disturbing.”
According to the UNICEF official, the first phase of the ceasefire was not only a stagnation in violent conflict, but it was a lifeline for local families.
“The atmosphere here is full of depression; The families I talked to, they are very concerned about what is going to happen in the future. ”
Partial improvement in nutrition status
Business on humanitarian aid supply in Gaza is set up at a time when UN Humanitarian Office (OCHAAccording to), it was possible to provide a wide variety of food to the local population.
UN aid workers warned that but on the progress made so far, there is a risk of rebuke from this ban.
Malnutrition cases were almost negligible before the violent conflict in Gaza started, but now more than three thousand children, and more than a thousand pregnant and breastfeeding women are being treated.
The UN office, citing the assessment of its partners, said that about eight percent of the children are consuming four or more food groups. For them, more fruits, vegetables, eggs and dairy products are available for them and they can also be purchased in local markets.
Since the implementation of the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, other aid organizations including UNICEF have sent the necessary medical goods to the children and their parents in a large scale. Also, after the damage to public establishments, efforts are being made to repair them.
Rosalia Balan said that water production is being increased, especially in the northern part. Water wells are being repaired and now focus will be focused on the distribution system, but due to lack of assistance, all these works will come to a standstill.
