Gaza residents 'slowly dying' under total blockade, UN warns

The head of the United Nation's humanitarian agency in Gaza, Jonathan Whittall, said on Saturday that the coming days are going to be “critical” for the enclave under a total and complete blockade. Since March 2, Israel completely cut off all supplies to the 2.3 million residents of the Gaza Strip, and food stockpiled during a ceasefire at the start of the year has all but run out.
