A senior official from the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says the Jewish colony continues to use humanitarian aid in Gaza as a weapon of war against Palestinians.
Caroline Willemen, MSF project coordinator in Gaza, underscored in a statement on Sunday that aid sent to the Gaza Strip should not be tied to any political conditions.
She noted that there has been a notable decline in the Jewish colony attacks on Gaza since the ceasefire was enacted, but she also pointed out that a major assault took place on 19 October, with near-daily shelling persisting.
The humanitarian conditions in Gaza, Willemen said, have not seen significant improvement. Shortages of water and shelter continue to exist, and as winter draws near, hundreds of thousands of individuals remain living in tents, she added.
She highlighted that MSF teams are still registering severe malnutrition in children younger than five years and in pregnant women. Despite a slight increase in food availability, the nutritional status remains worrisome.
“Residents of Gaza have lived under the threat of mass extermination for two years,” Willemen said.
The senior MSF official added, “We urgently need aid to ensure people can sleep on a mattress with a blanket inside their tents. Rebuilding Gaza will take a long time, but we have not yet reached even the minimum basic humanitarian standards in the strip.”
