UNICEF: 21 Malnutrition Treatment Centers Closed in Gaza As Israeli Aggression Resumed Ramallah, 6 Apr (ONA) — Spokesperson for the United Nations
Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Kazem Abu Khalaf announced today the
closure of 21 malnutrition treatment centers in Gaza due to the
resumption of the Israeli occupation’s aggression and the issuance of
evacuation orders in the affected areas.

Speaking to reporters, Abu Khalaf explained that UNICEF is awaiting
the release of a report from the Food Security Classification
Commission in the Gaza Strip.

He pointed out that the occupation continues to close the crossings
with the Gaza Strip, preventing the entry of aid, medical supplies,
nutritional supplements, and other items for 35 days.

Yesterday, UNICEF stated that more than one million children in the
Gaza Strip have been deprived of life-saving assistance for more than
a month, noting that the continued denial of aid entry into Gaza
constitutes a violation of international humanitarian law and has
dire consequences for children.

The UN agency confirmed that it has thousands of aid parcels waiting
to enter the Gaza Strip, and that they must be allowed in
immediately. It also confirmed that complementary foods for infants
in Gaza have run out, and that only enough ready-to-eat milk remains
for 400 children for a month.— Ends/Khalid
