That is in the GHF food box distributed in the gas

More than two million Palestinians are in Gaza in the gas crisis, with death from malnutrition, the United Nations reports.

Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF), supported by Israel and the United States, has been working in Gaza since late May. It states that it spread 91 million meals, primarily in the form of food boxes.

While the BBC could not see these boxes first -hand because Israel blocked international journalists to enter Gaza, BBC Verify learned photos and other information shared by GHF and spoke in favor of helping experts who expressed their concern about their nutritional value.

Palestinians on the Internet that show the contents of the boxes, but GHF shared only the image this week.

Two images located on X show are mostly dried foods that require water and fuel for cooking, including pasta, chickpeas, lentils and wheat flour. Also included culinary oil, salt and takhini, or sesame paste.

GHF said these boxes also contain ready-to-eat foods such as Halva-popular bars made from mixing Takhini or sesame paste and sugar.

The organization provided us with a table that it describes as a “landmark” of elements in each calorie showcase.

A typical box contains 42,500 calories, and “each box falls 5.5 people within 3.5 days”. According to the table.

Sometimes it includes replacements such as tea, cookies and chocolate, and also delivers potatoes and onions, but they are not included in food numbers, GHF said.

Professor of International Development Assistance London School of Economics analyzed the list presented by GHF for the BBC, and said that although it could provide enough calories needed for survival, he had “serious shortcomings”.

“In fact, this basket provides a full stomach, but an empty diet,” said Professor Stewart Gordon. “The biggest drawback is what is missing … It is (it) is very” first aid “designed to stop the hemoreaging effect, which is acute hunger.”

“This diet will lead to” hidden hunger “for weeks, increasing the risk of diseases such as anemia and scurvy,” he said.

D -R Andrew forces, Associate Professor of International Food at London University College, said there was a calcium, iron, zinc and vitamin C, D, B12 and K.

“Long consumption of these products, even if they were available in sufficient quantities, will lead to a number of disadvantages and serious health problems,” he said.

He added that unlike GHF, agencies such as the UN usually distribute food and complement it with purposeful nutrition for vulnerable groups. A The World Food Program program (WFP) said It is also aimed at providing emergency materials for young children and pregnant women.

GHF did not answer the BBC questions, which check the tips he received about the food content of his aid boxes, or it is planned to solve the problems caused by experts.

For those who manage to settle a box, they still need water and fuel to prepare dried goods despite Water crisis And a strong fuel deficit that stands in front of the gas.

This week, the UN Humanities Office (OCHA) warned that the water crisis was rapidly deteriorating. He also warned that the families had to resort to dangerous and unhealthy cooking methods, such as using waste.

In May, WFP said the official supplies of culinary gas stopped and that it was sold in the black market at up to 4000% higher than before the confiscated level.

UN Secretary -General Antonio Gutteres said that this week Gazana had a serious shortage of major supplies and that the “growth” malnutrition.

Almost every third person in gas goes without food, UN Food Program prevented.

“The malnutrition increases with 90,000 women and children who need treatment,” the World Power Program (WFP) said on Friday.
