United Nations: a scarcity of food, water and health services in Gaza
& nbsp;
& nbsp; the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs & quot; & quot; The Gaza Strip is witnessing a scarcity of food, water and health services, after the Israeli occupation authorities decided to stop the introduction of aid and cut water and electricity from the Strip 11 days ago. The office said that & quot; people around Gaza find increasing difficulties in finding enough food, water, health services, and other vital supplies & quot;. UN spokesman Stephen Dujarric said at his daily press conference, that only 16% of medical services points in North Gaza Governorate are still working either completely or partially.

& nbsp; He said that the accumulation of garbage leads to unhealthy conditions and increases risks to public health. The problem is exacerbated due to the lack of spare parts, as 80% of the garbage collection vehicles and containers are either destroyed or damaged. Dujarik talked about the inability to deal appropriately with infectious medical waste in addition to a mixture of solid waste contaminated with explosive packages. According to Dujarik, United Nations partners remove garbage from 70 random waste sites to 30 temporary sites, but most of them are already stacked. He stressed the urgent need to reach other sites close to the border. As for education in the Gaza Strip, the UN spokesman said that the United Nations partners have established more than 200 temporary educational spaces, bringing the total number more than 630, which supports these areas more than 170 thousand children, where 60% of children in the age of study in Gaza can reach a form of learning, whether in schools or temporary spaces, according to Dujarik. Michael Fakhry’s Special Right to the Right to the Rent, Michael Fakhry, has said that the continuation of the Israeli occupation authorities to prevent humanitarian aid to Gaza is & quot; continuing war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity & quot;. He indicated that Israel has fuel the 2.3 million Gaza population, and this is the fastest starvation in modern history. Fakhri called on the international community to impose widespread sanctions on Israel, including many areas from the economy to diplomacy. & nbsp;
