“L'armée israélienne a également continué à émettre des ordres de déplacement pour les Palestiniens, y compris ceux de la ville de Gaza, leur demandant de se déplacer vers la zone d'Al Mawasi, même si les frappes sur cette zone se poursuivent. Les 16 et 17 août, nous avons enregistré cinq attaques sur des tentes de personnes déplacées internes à Al Mawasi, tuant au moins neuf personnes,” a déclaré Al-Kheetan.
“Des centaines de milliers de Palestiniens déplacés vers Al Mawasi ont peu ou pas accès aux services et fournitures essentiels, y compris la nourriture, l'eau, l'électricité et les tentes,” a souligné le porte-parole.
“Le risque de famine est omniprésent à Gaza. C'est le résultat direct de la politique du gouvernement israélien de bloquer l'aide humanitaire. Au cours des dernières semaines, les autorités israéliennes n'ont permis l'entrée d'aide qu'en quantités bien inférieures à ce qui serait nécessaire pour éviter une famine généralisée,” a-t-il dit.
“Accéder aux maigres fournitures disponibles peut être une quête mortelle. Depuis le 27 mai et jusqu'au 17 août, nous avons documenté que 1 857 Palestiniens ont été tués en cherchant de la nourriture, dont 1 021 tués à proximité des sites de la Fondation humanitaire de Gaza, et 836 tués sur les routes des camions de ravitaillement. La plupart de ces tueries semblent avoir été commises par l'armée israélienne,” a déclaré Al-Kheetan.

As war intensifies in the city of El Obeid in North Kordofan state, filling up a jerrycan of water comes at a high risk for women and girls: by day, drones strike water points and by night, women who venture out to fill a bucket risk rape. UN Women warns of a dual terror that has turned access to water into a deadly gamble.

UN humanitarians working in war-torn Sudan warned on Friday of growing dramatic needs among the more than 100,000 displaced people now sheltering in camps in the city of El Obeid. "We are providing even not the full food ration to the people, but even that reduced food ration is being shared by the recipients with other families, because they know that they don't have any other source of income," said World Food Programme (WFP) Sudan Country Director Abdallah Alwardat.
