89 days of border closures
On the humanitarian front, Israeli forces continue to occupy and close the crossings in Gaza, preventing the travel of the wounded and sick for treatment or the entry of any humanitarian aid into the enclave for the 89th consecutive day.
The occupation has been closing the crossings since its invasion of Rafah city in the south of the Strip. It has been also controlling over the Rafah land crossing and Kerem Shalom, despite warnings from humanitarian and relief organizations and international demands to reopen the crossings to avoid a famine due to the cessation of aid, and to save the lives of thousands of patients and wounded.
Food Insecurity
The World Food Program warned that two million Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, which is facing an Israeli war, are suffering from food insecurity, expressing concern about reducing the volume of aid delivery to Gaza.

Famine threatens the lives of citizens
The office pointed out that the specter of famine directly threatens the lives of citizens, indicating an increase in the number of deaths due to hunger, especially among children, with 3,500 children at risk of death due to malnutrition and the lack of nutritional supplements and vaccinations that are now prohibited from entering Gaza.
The Ministry of Health said that about 20,000 wounded and sick people in Gaza currently need to travel abroad for treatment, confirming that none of them have been able to leave the enclave since the Israeli forces occupied the crossings, putting the lives of thousands of them at risk of complications and death.
