Red Crescent: 'Humanitarian situation in Gaza Strip is worsening'

The Palestine Red Crescent Society has declared that the epidemiological situation in the Gaza Strip continues to deteriorate, with an additional shortage of essential food supplies.

According to the organization, humanitarian aid reaching the Gaza sector only meets up to 10 percent of the residents' needs.

Sources in Gaza report that the situation in Jabalia is catastrophic, with shortages of medicines, food, and drinking water. Ninety percent of the water in Gaza is contaminated, yet the sector's residents are compelled to use it.
