Israeli academics call on their government to take action against hunger in Gaza. The academics also stressed the need to release prisoners held by the Palestinian resistance.
This coincided with what the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that hunger is everywhere in the Gaza Strip. As a result of the war and restrictions imposed by the Israeli occupation, the residents of Gaza are on the verge of famine, in light of a severe scarcity of food, water, medicine and fuel supplies.
