"🚨Alarming new data from UNRWA clinics in
#Gaza:
Since March, nearly 100,000 children under the age of 5 screened by UNRWA.
➡️ In less than 6 months, child malnutrition tripled across the Gaza Strip.
➡️ In Gaza City, nearly 1 in every 3 children is now malnourished - 6 times higher than before the ceasefire collapsed.
This is not a natural disaster.
It is a man-made, preventable starvation.
UNRWA and other aid groups have been blocked for almost 6️⃣ months from bringing in supplies.
The Agency’s warehouses in Egypt and Jordan have aid that could fill 6,000 trucks - including three months worth of food.
Again and again, I appeal to let life-saving aid in through UNRWA and other humanitarian organisations.
If not, more children will continue to die.
Political will can reverse this abomination."
