Gaza - Saba:
Adrian Zimmermann, head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) delegation in Gaza Strip, warned of "running out of medical supplies within a few weeks due to the suspension of humanitarian aid, which is the main lifeline for the population of Gaza Strip."
"The Red Cross field hospital continues to operate, but the available medical supplies will run out within a few weeks," Zimmermann said in press statements today, noting that "the ICRC has always emphasized that rapid and unhindered humanitarian access is critical to achieving this mission."
"The closure of crossings has increasingly undermined the ability of humanitarian organizations to carry out their mission at a time when tens of thousands are in need of medical treatment or services that are currently unavailable in Gaza," he said.
"The reduced availability and high prices of basic items since the beginning of March, and the severe psychological impact of the resumption of hostilities, have dealt a severe blow to civilians in Gaza, who do not feel safe and cannot live their lives with the dignity they deserve," Zimmermann added.
He went on to say: "We have been informed of more than 14,400 cases of disappearances of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank, and many of them have not been able to obtain information about the whereabouts of their missing loved ones, and the ICRC has closed the files of more than four thousand cases, and unfortunately thousands of files remain unclosed."
At dawn on March 18, 2025, the enemy resumed its aggression and tight siege on Gaza Strip, after a two-month pause under a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on January 19, but the enemy violated.
