A United Nations humanitarian president says that the ceasefire of Israel, Hamas, will need a contract or Gaza will face famine again.

The starvation has been avoided mostly Gaza your Increase aid Enter the region during a FiringThe President of the United Nations Humanitarian said on Sunday. But he warned that the threat may return quickly if the armistice collapses.

Tom Fletcher spoke to the Associated Press after a two -day visit to Gaza, where hundreds of trucks carrying humanitarian aid arrived every day since the ceasefire began on January 19.

“I think the threat of starvation has been largely avoided,” said Fletcher in Cairo. “These hunger levels have decreased from where they were before the ceasefire.”

It has spoken with the growth of fears about whether the ceasefire and conversations can be extended in the second most difficult stage. The first stage of six weeks in the middle of the road.

As part of the agreement, Israel said it would allow 600 auxiliary trucks in Gaza every day, which is a significant increase after months of relief officials who express frustration with delay and Insecurity Disable both the entry and distribution of food, medicines and other elements that affect the need.

The United Nations Humanitarian Office said more than 1,2600 auxiliary trucks have entered Gaza since the ceasefire arrived.

Fletcher urged Hamas, who quickly reaffirmed his control of the region in the hours that followed the ceasefire, and Israel to adhere to the deal that “saved many lives.”

“The circumstances are still terrible, and people are still hungry,” he said. “If the ceasefire falls, if the ceasefire is separated, these circumstances (which resemble starvation) will return very quickly.”

Internationally recognized death threshold for famine Two or more deaths per day per 10,000 people.

For several months before the current ceasefire, food security screens, United Nations and others were Warning of possible starvation In parts of destroyed Gaza, especially the north, which have been largely isolated since the first weeks of the 16 -month war. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians managed to return to the north under the ceasefire.

“We cannot … sit and allow these people to starve to death,” Cindy McCainThe US President of the United Nations World Foods Program told CBS in December. The Biden administration has repeatedly urged Israel to allow more aid delivery operations and warned that failure to do so could lead to US restrictions on military support.

Fletcher said more food and medical supplies are decisively required for the lands of more than two million people, most of whom were displaced, and expressed his concerns about the outbreak of diseases due to the lack of basic health supplies. He also called for increasing the delivery of tents and other shelters to those who have returned to their household areas, as the winter continues.

“We must get tens of thousands of tents very quickly, so that people who return back, especially returning to the north, can resort from these circumstances,” he said.

Fletcher entered the Palestinian territories through the Eris crossing between Israel and northern Gaza, where he said that he went to “the bombing, flat and crushing.”

“You cannot see the difference between school, hospital or home,” he said.

He said he saw people trying to find the place of their homes and collect the bodies of their loved ones from the rubble. He saw dogs looking for bodies in the rubble as well.

“It is a horror movie. It is a horror show,” he said. “It breaks your heart over and over again. You lead to miles, miles and miles, and that’s all you see.”

Fleischer admitted that some Palestinians were angry at the international community because of the war and rest.

“There was despair and anger. I can understand the anger in the world that happened to them,” he said. “But there was also a challenge as well. People were saying,” We’ll return to our homes. We will return to the places we have lived for generations, and we will rebuild. “
