Update: 2024-10-27
Description
Oxfam's Gaza food security and livelihood leader, Mahmoud al-Saqqa, joined Al Jazeera from Deir el-Bala, discussing the escalating humanitarian crisis. Al-Saqqa outlined severe shortages of food, medicine, and essentials, worsened by Israeli bombardments and border closures. He highlighted that more than 90% of Gaza's population now faces acute food insecurity, and children are increasingly malnourished. Aid entry has been minimal, particularly into northern Gaza, where severe restrictions leave residents with few options but displacement. Al-Saqqa emphasised that humanitarian workers are risking their lives daily, calling for international action against the use of food as a weapon.
