More than two-thirds of Gaza's population is estimated to be crammed into less than a fifth of the besieged Palestinian territory, Oxfam says, as deadly Israeli bombardment and fighting continue to rage.
More than two-thirds of Gaza's population is estimated to be crammed into less than a fifth of the besieged Palestinian territory, Oxfam says, as deadly Israeli bombardment and fighting continue to rage."Obstructing tonnes of food for a malnourished population while waving through caffeine-laced drinks and chocolate is sickening" Oxfam's Middle East and North Africa director, Sally Abi Khalil, says.
"Despite Israeli assurances that full support would be provided for people fleeing, most of Gaza has been deprived of humanitarian aid, as famine inches closer," the aid agency said on Tuesday. Since Israeli troops launched their invasion into Rafah on May 6, an average of eight aid trucks per day have entered, Oxfam said, citing UN figures. "By the time a famine is declared, it will be too late," Oxfam's Middle East and North Africa director, Sally Abi Khalil, said.
More than one million people have fled Rafah for other areas, according to the UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA.
