OCHA:

Humanitarian Situation Update #297

Gaza

Key Highlights | 18 June

Amid starvation and a growing likelihood of famine, attacks on civilians attempting to access food supplies continue, resulting in mass casualties.

Hospitals in Gaza are overstretched, facing critical shortages of essential medicines and supplies, mass casualty events and fuel shortages, while medical teams are experiencing fainting episodes due to exhaustion and lack of food.

An estimated 55,000 pregnant women in Gaza are facing growing health risks, such as miscarriage, stillbirth and undernourished newborns.

Three months since hostilities re-escalated on 18 March, over 680,000 people have been newly-displaced and less than 18% of Gaza remains outside of Israeli-militarised zones or displacement orders.

Humanitarian organisations warn that, without the immediate entry of fuel into Gaza or access to fuel reserves within Gaza, access to lifesaving and life-sustaining services are at risk of shutting down imminently, including 80% of Critical Care Units essential for births and medical emergencies.

Leslie Bravery
Leslie Bravery is a Londoner with vivid World War Two memories of the Nazi blitz on his home town. In 1947/1948 His father explained to him what was happening to the Palestinians thus: “Any ideology or political movement that creates refugees in the process of realising its ambitions must be inhuman and should be opposed and condemned as unacceptable.” What followed confirmed this assessment of the Zionist entity a hundredfold. Now a retired flamenco guitarist, with a lifelong interest in the tragedy of what happened to the Palestinian people, he tries to publicise their plight. Because the daily injustices they suffer barely get a mention in the mainstream news media, Leslie edits/compiles a daily newsletter, In Occupied Palestine, for the Palestine Human Rights Campaign. These days, to preserve his sanity, he enjoys taking part in a drama group whenever possible!
