“In Gaza it is not enough to say that the situation is catastrophic, it is inconceivably. There is no place for people, almost two million are trapped on a small piece of land and there is not even space to put up a tent and seek shelter.” There is talk Enrico Vallaperta, medical coordinator of Doctors Without Borders, an association also supported by the Il Fatto Quotidiano Foundation, speaks of a situation in the Strip on the edge where “everything is missing”. “There is a shortage of water, food and essential goods. Prices are skyrocketing and the few things available are inaccessible to the local population.” Above all, a health and care system that is now collapsing is putting a strain on the population: “People die from diarrhea, they even die from simple bronchitis – Vallaperta continues: “There is no way to treat all these people because there is no space and we don’t know where to set up the clinic.” There is also little help,”impractical“:”100 trucks per day cannot meet the needs of 2 million people who had to leave their homes without taking anything with them.” “No one would have thought that they would be faced with a situation where help did not reach where it was needed. They are available but cannot enter,” concludes the coordinator.
