Trickle of aid insufficient to address Gaza catastrophe

Martin Griffiths, director of Mediation Group International, has warned starvation in Gaza continues to spread as Israeli troops press deeper into the cut-off north.

“It’s either displacement or death in Gaza City, or displacement and death in al-Mawasi,” Griffiths said, referring to the area in the south of the Strip that Israel designated a so-called “humanitarian zone.”

Hundreds of thousands of people are crammed in a slim slice of sandy land with no healthcare or sanitary facilities in al-Mawasi, he noted.

Griffiths said of the minimum 500 trucks of humanitarian aid needed, only about 80 are entering the Strip daily: “It’s a trickle.”
