Aid reaching Gaza can’t feed even one percent of the population, doctor warns

The humanitarian aid trickling into Gaza falls far short of meeting basic needs, according to Dr Mohammed Abu Afash, director of Palestinian Medical Relief Society in Gaza.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Abu Afash said: “The aid entering Gaza is not enough to feed one percent of the Strip's population.”

He warned that malnutrition cases continue to surge while many types of food have been unavailable for months.

“The amount of clean water in the Gaza Strip does not meet the needs of the population,” he added, noting that the health system has collapsed under pressure and disease is now spreading rapidly.

He called for urgent humanitarian corridors to safely deliver supplies to those in need.
