US Edition‘The Weak Treating the Weak’: Doctors in Gaza Are Fainting While Trying to Save Their Starving Patients | News Channel 3-12
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 24 – At least 45 starvation deaths have occurred in Gaza recently as aid workers collapse from hunger amid stalled ceasefire talks and a near-total blockade, UN officials said.
- Doctors and nurses in Gaza are fainting from hunger while working 24-hour shifts to treat starving patients amid a worsening humanitarian crisis.
- This crisis results from Israel's near-total blockade of aid deliveries, which human rights groups and UN agencies have documented as deliberate starvation tactics.
- UNRWA has stockpiled thousands of shipments containing essential food and medical materials in neighboring Jordan and Egypt, while the 2.1 million residents of Gaza face increasing malnutrition and deaths caused by hunger.
- Philippe Lazzarini, leader of UNRWA, emphasized that the humanitarian system is breaking down as aid workers struggle to secure sufficient food for themselves.
- The crisis has prompted calls for an immediate ceasefire, expanded humanitarian access, and recognition of Palestinian statehood to prevent further famine and suffering.
