Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis: 250,000 Face Severe Malnutrition
Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis: 250,000 Palestinians Face Severe Malnutrition Gaza is facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with 250,000 Palestinians suffering from the most critical level of malnutrition, according to Adnan Abu Hasna, UNRWA's media advisor in Gaza. Abu Hasna paints a grim picture, describing the situation as "hell." The crisis is not just about food shortages; it's also a mental health emergency, particularly for children who represent a large portion of the affected population. He explains that many families are surviving on a meager amount of bread every few days, and that the scarcity of goods in the markets is exacerbating the problem. "What is happening in Gaza is hell," Abu Hasna said in a recent interview. "250,000 Palestinians are suffering from the fifth degree of malnutrition." He further emphasized the widespread psychological distress caused by the ongoing crisis. The video highlights the urgent need for increased humanitarian aid to address both the immediate food crisis and the long-term mental health consequences for the people of Gaza. The international community must act swiftly to prevent further suffering and loss of life.
