The Gaza Health Ministry reported the death of 2 infants on the first day of Ramadan, stating that at least 27 people have so far died as a result of starvation and the severe crisis in the Gaza Strip.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said in a statement that starvation has engulfed the entire Gaza Strip.
According to this statement, the situation in northern Gaza is even more disastrous; a place where, despite warnings and repeated requests for aid, the entry of ground assistance to the area is prevented.
Meanwhile, it is said that a ship carrying the first shipment of food from Cyprus towards Gaza has set sail.
This shipment, carrying 200 tons of food for the people, will reach Gaza in two more days—a vital but insufficient aid for people who are enduring one of their most difficult Ramadan months.
The charity organization World Central Kitchen, tasked with delivering this aid, says it has another 500 tons of food in Cyprus ready to be sent to Gaza.
In the following days, the United States and other countries also dropped aid boxes for the people in Gaza using balloons and aeroplanes, but the people of Gaza were skeptical about the maritime route, as they believed the United States intended to create further chaos in the region by planning to build a temporary port.
Meanwhile, Israel and Hamas have not reached an agreement on a ceasefire and the release of hostages during the holy month of Ramadan.
According to official statistics, the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip have so far resulted in 31,184 deaths.
