The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and the World Food Program are bringing flour and rice to starving families whose lives are in danger, because every meal, no matter how small, is vital for the children. in Gaza,” Baerbock said.
She added that each box of medical supplies from the World Health Organization (WHO) helps “restore a minimum level of medical care” in the destroyed hospitals in the Gaza Strip, which has been under heavy bombardment by Israeli forces for months.
