At least 2 children died due to heat wave in Gaza Strip: UNRWA Commissioner-general

CAIRO - 27 April 2024: The Commissioner-General of UNRWA said that reports indicate that at least two children died due to the heat wave in the Gaza Strip.

 

The Commissioner-General of UNRWA continued, during statements reported by Al-Qahera News TV Channel, that the Gaza Strip witnessed during the past days an unusual heat wave that exacerbated its inhumane living conditions.

 

The occupation forces continue to launch hundreds of raids, artillery shelling, and carry out crimes throughout the Gaza Strip, committing bloody massacres against civilians, and carrying out horrific crimes in the areas of incursion, amid a catastrophic humanitarian situation as a result of the siege and the displacement of more than 90% of the population.

 

The Israeli occupation aircraft destroyed entire residential squares in the Gaza Strip, as part of the comprehensive destruction policy pursued by the occupation in its ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip.

 

Thousands of killed and wounded Palestinians are still under the rubble, unrecovered, due to the continued Israeli bombing, in light of a stifling siege of the Gaza Strip and severe restrictions on the entry of fuel and urgent vital aid to alleviate the catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
