Middle East, Gaza government: ‘100,000 children at risk of imminent death’

Milan, 26 July (LaPresse) In Gaza, 100,000 children under the age of two, including 40,000 newborns, are at risk of dying within days due to the ‘total lack of powdered milk and food supplements, the continued closure of border crossings and the impossibility of bringing in even basic necessities’. This is the alarm raised by the government of the Strip, which speaks of an ‘unprecedented and imminent humanitarian disaster’ caused by Israel, according to Al-Jazeera. ‘We are witnessing a slow and deliberate mass killing of newborns due to the policy of starvation and extermination pursued by the Israeli occupation,’ accuses the Gaza government.
