Israel has implemented a full siege on all aid in Gaza since March 2, not allowing food, water, medicine, or any other necessities into the besieged Strip while incessantly bombing its Palestinian civilian population and infrastructure. This follows the latest data released by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), which admonished that the entire population of Gaza, some 2.1 million people, are at “critical risk of famine.” The report showed that one in five people in Gaza – 500,000 – are facing starvation. Peeperkorn said Israel’s siege constitutes ”one of the world’s worst hunger crises,” caused by the “deliberate obstruction” of the aforementioned life-saving goods and materials. “If the situation persists, nearly 71,000 children under the age of five are expected to be acutely malnourished over the next eleven months,” he explained. Peeperkorn also highlighted that 17,000 pregnant and breastfeeding mothers are at similar risk. “Without enough nutritious food, clean water, and access to health care, an entire generation will be permanently affected,” the representative warned. Under these circumstances, children are likely to fall victim to chronic health issues, stunted growth, and impaired brain development. He detailed a “dangerous cycle” in which healthcare is almost totally non-existent as widespread malnutrition weakens immune systems, all the while people cannot obtain clean water or sanitation. Additionally, he said children are more vulnerable to disease as vaccine coverage has drastically decreased.
