London, Jerusalem and Gaza – In a joint statement, 115 organizations described the serious shortage of food in Gaza as “mass starvation”, since the “siege of the Israeli government dies of killing the people of Gaza.”
The organizations warned that some humanitarian workers now bind to the food lines in Gaza, saying that “risk that they are triggered only to feed their families.” Repeated mortal shootings around the aid distribution centers have killed hundreds, according to the United Nations.

Ten Palestinians died due to famine and malnutrition in the last 24 hours, according to a statement from the Ministry of Health of Gaza in the territory led by Hamas on Wednesday.
While a total number of 111 people died to hunger from the beginning of the war, 25 of them, including at least four children, have died right in the last 48 hours, the ministry said. Many supplies are now totally exhausted, according to help organizations.
The joint statement accused the Israeli government of implementing “restrictions, delays and fragmentation” with a total siege of the Gaza Strip, resulting in “chaos, starvation and death” of the Palestinians.

A humanitarian worker who provides psychosocial support is cited in part that says: “Children tell their parents that they want to go to heaven, because at least heaven has food.”
Doctors Without Borders, Save The Children and Oxfam International were among the international aid groups signed by the statement.
