ACTIVISTS today labelled Gaza a “famine-stricken zone.”
Palestinian non-governmental organisations made the call at a news conference on Wednesday in the West Bank city of Ramallah as they set out the conditions being suffered by Palestinians in Gaza after months of Israeli bombing.
Speaking to the conference by video, Amjad Shawa, director of the Palestinian NGOs Network in Deir el-Balah, said: “What is required now is to declare Gaza Strip as a famine-stricken zone.”
