More than 500,000 flour bags needed to avoid collapse, Gaza's media office says

The Government Media Office in Gaza has said that more than 500,000 flour bags per week are needed in the enclave to avoid a humanitarian collapse. 

Gaza’s hospitals have recorded more than 115 deaths related to “famine and malnutrition” amid a near-total Israeli blockade, it said in a statement issued on Telegram, adding that false narratives regarding the entry of aid trucks are being spread. 

“We categorically deny these claims, as they are completely untrue and represent a dangerous alignment with the misleading narrative of the ‘Israeli’ occupation, and a deliberate distortion of the truth of the ongoing crime,” it added.

The media office called on "all countries of the world, without exception, to immediately break the siege, permanently open the crossings, and allow the entry of baby milk and aid to more than 2.4 million people besieged in the Gaza Strip”.
