Geneva:
The chairman of the Red Cross described the human situation in Gaza on Friday as “hell on earth” and warned that his field hospital would run out of supply within two weeks.
Mirajana Spolazric told Reuters at the headquarters of the International Committee of Red Cross in Geneva, “Now we are finding ourselves in a position that I have to describe as hell on earth … people do not have access to water, electricity, food in many parts.”
Any new human supply has not entered the Palestinian Enclave as Israel blocked the entry of aid trucks on 2 March, as the negotiations stopped in the next phase of the broken trus. Israel resumed its military attack on 18 March.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry said 25,000 aid trucks entered Gaza in 42 days of ceasefire and Hamas used assistance to reconstruct his war machine, an allegation that the group denied.
Spolazric said that the supply was seriously running.
“For six weeks, nothing has come, so we will get out of the supply in a few weeks, which we need to continue the hospital,” he said.
The World Health Organization said that the supply of antibiotics and blood bags was decreasing rapidly. Out of 36 hospitals in Enclave, two out of two are only minimum functional, Dr. Rick Peppercorn told reporters in Geneva via video link at Jerusalem.
The Red Cross President also expressed concern about the safety of human operations.
“It is extremely dangerous to move the population, but it is especially dangerous for us to operate,” Spolazric said.
In March, the bodies of 15 emergency and assistance workers, including eight members of Palestinian Red Crescent, were buried in a collective grave in southern Gaza.
The United Nations and Red Crescent accused the Israeli of killing him.
The Israeli army said on Monday that an initial investigation revealed that the incident took place “due to a sense of danger”, as it said that it had identified six Hamas militants.
Spolazric called for an immediate ceasefire to release the remaining hostages organized by Hamas and address serious human issues in Gaza.
The Israeli -led militants launched their military operations in Gaza in October 2023 after killing 1,200 people and took some 250 hostages on a raid in Israel as per Israel’s long.
Since then, more than 50,800 Palestinians have been killed and most of the areas have reduced in debris.
