Imminent Famine in Gaza: UN Issues Urgent Warning – Breaking News
Griffiths Raises Alarm on Hunger Crisis in Gaza
The United Nations’ humanitarian coordinator for the Middle East, Jamie Griffiths, has brought attention to the dire situation of hunger in Gaza. With life-saving aid being cut off to over 1 million residents in Gaza and the looming threat of famine, Griffiths has called on the international community to take action.
Griffiths expressed his disappointment, stating that the international community should feel ashamed for not being able to prevent this crisis. He emphasized the urgent need to provide food and essential supplies to Gaza and urged Israeli authorities to allow free passage for humanitarian aid.
The collapse of the market in Gaza and widespread destruction in the region have exacerbated the situation. Griffiths warned that once famine is declared, it will be too late to act. However, he remains hopeful that with immediate action and cooperation, the crisis can still be averted.
As the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, Griffiths’ call for urgent intervention serves as a stark reminder of the pressing need for humanitarian assistance in the region. The international community must come together to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
