French Foreign Minister Jean Noel Barrow announced today, Friday, that his country will send four flights loaded with ten tons of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, starting from Jordan, as part of international relief efforts to alleviate the human suffering in the Strip. The French minister said in a statement to the “France Info” network that this aid is emergency, but it is “still insufficient” in front of the size of the humanitarian catastrophe witnessed in the sector, noting the increasing need for urgent international support. This announcement comes in conjunction with warnings issued by a global hunger observatory on Tuesday, in which he affirmed that the famine has become a discovered scenario in the Gaza Strip, with a great escalation in the rates of malnutrition and the death of children under the age of five for hunger reasons, in light of the continued restrictions on the arrival of humanitarian aid.
