Disgraceful – Mark

Several children and adults in northern Gaza were filmed scavenging for food through piles of rubbish in video posted on November 6 by Palestinian journalist Hasan al-Moghani. Al-Moghani said the group had been collecting food “due to famine” in the area. The video was posted five days after 15 United Nations agencies issued a joint statement saying “the entire Palestinian population in North Gaza is at imminent risk of dying from disease, famine and violence” and urging Israel to end its assault on Gaza. “The situation unfolding in North Gaza is apocalyptic,” the UN statement read. “The area has been under siege for almost a month, denied basic aid and life-saving supplies while bombardment and other attacks continue …. Humanitarian aid cannot keep up with the scale of the needs due to the access constraints. Basic, life-saving goods are not available. Humanitarians are not safe to do their work and are blocked by Israeli forces and by insecurity from reaching people in need.”
