<p>GAZA, (PIC)</p>



<p>Three international organizations launched urgent appeals regarding 
the Israeli occupation forces’ (IOF) attacks on medical personnel, 
demolition of water wells, and continued prevention of food aid access 
to the residents of the Gaza Strip.</p>



<p>The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees 
(UNRWA) said in a statement on Monday that the IOF destroyed more than 
15 wells throughout the Strip, leaving only 3 wells operating in Deir 
al-Balah, where water supplies have decreased by 85%.</p>



<p>Earlier, the Deir al-Balah municipality announced that about half of 
the Gaza Strip’s population lives in a narrow strip which has been 
repeatedly reduced over time by the IOF, leading to forced displacement 
of about 250,000 citizens and taking 25 shelters out of service.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, the World Food Program (WFP) said that food operations in 
the Gaza Strip face increasing challenges in light of the ongoing 
Israeli aggression, which exacerbates hunger-related needs.</p>



<p>The WFP called on Israel to immediately stop attacking Palestinian 
medical personnel, explaining their detention contributes to 
catastrophic deterioration of the health care system in the besieged 
Strip.</p>



<p>The WFP stressed the importance of allowing immediate access to 
humanitarian aid to vaccinate thousands of children in the Gaza Strip.</p>



<p>For its part, the Human Rights Watch organization called on the 
Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to investigate the 
Israeli attacks on medical personnel in Gaza and the violations against 
those detained among them.</p>



<p>The organization demanded that Israel must immediately stop the 
continued mistreatment of Palestinian medical personnel, quoting 
released doctors, nurses and paramedics as telling stories of 
mistreatment in Israeli prisons, including humiliation, beatings, forced
 stress positions, shackling and blindfolding for long hours, 
deprivation of medical care, rape and sexual assault.</p>
