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.
