WFP: The humanitarian situation in Gaza is out of control

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) said the humanitarian situation in Gaza is out of control, while the Ministry of Health in Gaza confirmed that generators have been almost completely destroyed.

The WFP emphasized that the closure of crossings, hunger, and despair have made the delivery of aid to Gaza unstable, emphasizing that a ceasefire is the only way to safely deliver aid to the besieged Strip.

For its part, the Ministry of Health in Gaza stated that the occupation has destroyed a large number of generators, most recently by bombing and burning three high-capacity generators. It added that the remaining generators are difficult to maintain due to the lack of spare parts, and several are at risk of being put out of service.

The ministry stated that technical teams in hospitals are working with limited options to bolster electricity supplies to vital departments, and that operating rooms, intensive care units, emergency rooms, and nurseries cannot continue without electricity.
