The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stated on Sunday that the military order issued by Israel directing residents and displaced persons in the Deir al-Balah area of Gaza to evacuate southward deals a “crippling blow” to humanitarian efforts in the war-ravaged enclave.

In a statement, the office warned that “the mass displacement order issued today by the Israeli military delivers yet another severe blow to the already fragile lifeline keeping people alive across the Gaza Strip.”
Hunger and malnutrition have reached unprecedented levels in Gaza, with the UN confirming that tens of thousands of children and women are in urgent need of treatment, while only limited humanitarian aid is entering the Strip due to Israeli restrictions.
Gaza's Civil Defense reported a growing number of infant deaths due to acute hunger and malnutrition, confirming that at least three children died over the past week. (Al-Mamlaka)
