UNRWA Israeli army deploys beyond the so called yellow line in Gaza

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) stated on Friday evening that the Israeli army remains deployed in more than 50% of the Gaza Strip, outside the so-called “Yellow Line.”

The UN agency added in a post on its X platform that, “Worryingly, UNRWA teams reported that the ‘Yellow Line’ moved westward over the past week in various areas of the Gaza Strip, restricting access to key UNRWA facilities.”

It confirmed that 1.6 million people in the Gaza Strip continue to suffer from acute food insecurity, according to the latest analysis by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).

UNRWA noted that between December 1 and 15, it screened 3,720 children aged 6 to 59 months at its health centers and clinics in the Gaza Strip, identifying 315 children suffering from malnutrition.

With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has committed genocide, siege and starvation crimes in the Gaza Strip for more than two consecutive years since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 70,945 Palestinian civilians, most of them children and women, and the injury of 171,211 others, to date, in a non-final count, as thousands of victims are still under the rubble and in the streets that ambulance and rescue crews cannot reach.
