‘War without limits’: Aid agencies sound the alarm as Israel’s Gaza blockade enters a second month
Assem Al-Nabeeh, a spokesperson for the Gaza City municipality, told CNN that after several recent evacuation orders “people are literally being displaced everywhere, on main roads, in public parks, near garbage dumps, in squares, and even in buildings that are on the verge of collapse.”
“Even before the latest evacuation orders,
only 40% of the city had access to water,” Al-Nabeeh said. He estimated that
175,000 tonnes of waste had accumulated across the city.
The senior OCHA official for Palestinian territories, Jonathan Whittall, said earlier this week that a “war without limits” was underway in Gaza. In a report released Friday, OCHA said: “Gaza faces
renewed risk of hunger and malnutrition as the full cargo blockade, now entering the second month, almost halts all flour distribution and shuts all subsidized bakeries.”
The World Food Programme (WFP) said on Thursday that
all 25 subsidized bakeries across Gaza had closed because of a lack of cooking gas and flour. It added that more than one million people were left without food parcels in March, and while the supply of hot meals was continuing, current “supplies will last two weeks maximum.”
WFP says that some 89,000 tonnes of food waits outside Gaza, while food scarcity inside is driving up prices dramatically.
A bag of wheat flour costs 450% more than it did a few weeks ago.
Meanwhile, OCHA says access to water remains “severely constrained” – with
two-thirds of Gazan households unable to access six liters (around 200 fluid ounces)
of drinking water per day. After an improvement in water production and supply during the recent ceasefire, agencies are now struggling to repair and maintain infrastructure.
The Biden administration repeatedly pressured the Israeli government to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza, including pausing a shipment of bombs over concern about the civilian population in the coastal enclave. But
that pressure has all but vanished under the Trump administration.
