The UN has warned of the famine which threatens almost the entire population of the Gaza Strip. The director of the International Committee of the Red Cross for the Middle East, Fabrizio Carboni, discusses “the collective powerlessness to face this humanitarian disaster”.
“We find ourselves in an extremely dangerous environment and we are doing everything we can but what we can is clearly not enough“, explains Fabrizio Carboni, director of the International Committee of the Red Cross for the Middle East. He believes that the words no longer have any meaning today: “Two months ago, we were already talking about something dramatic, catastrophic, I don’t know what words to use today.“The director of the humanitarian organization explains having reached the limits in terms of commitment, by taking risks that they would not take elsewhere in the world.
Famine threatens almost the entire population
While the UN warns that almost the entire population of the Gaza Strip is threatened with famine, a food drop has been organized. For Fabrizio Carboni, he reveals “the collective helplessness to face this humanitarian disaster“. According to him, States must go further than this airdrop because “This is not a solution“.
