QNA

The League of Arab States sent an urgent appeal to the member states of the UN Security Council (UNSC) to work to stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip immediately and impose a humanitarian truce to bring in the necessary materials in order to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of residents.

In a statement today, Secretary-General of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul Gheit said that famine has become a possibility, especially since 1.2 million people in Gaza were already suffering from food insecurity before the recent Israeli aggression on the Strip. After 17 full years of siege, the entire population today faces the threat of starvation and does not know how to get their next meal, he added.

The majority of the population of the Gaza Strip lives on one liter of water for all purposes, and they sometimes drink from unsanitary wells and do not obtain drinking water, while the average person consumes about 140 liters, the statement said explaining that most of the desalination plants, were destroyed or stopped working due to lack of fuel.
