Sure, here’s the translation into American English:

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories has reported a chilling increase in violence and devastation in Gaza, where attacks by Israeli forces have claimed the lives of at least 105 Palestinians in just two days. This spike in hostilities occurred between July 30 and 31, as the population desperately seeks food amid growing hunger and resource shortages.
Despite an announcement from the Israeli military regarding a “temporary cease of military operations” that began on July 27, gunfire and bombings have continued to affect food aid convoy routes and the vicinity of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The UN office highlighted that since May 27, the total number of Palestinians who have died while seeking food has risen to 1,373, most of whom were young men and children not involved in hostile acts.
The UN entity has described the situation in Gaza as a “man-made humanitarian catastrophe,” emphasizing that Israeli policies have dramatically reduced vital assistance to the region. The international community has been urged to take action and hold accountable those who perpetuate such violence, considering attacks against civilians and the use of starvation as a weapon of war as war crimes.
Despite recent announcements about an increase in humanitarian aid, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has noted that the assistance reaching Gaza remains insufficient and faces numerous obstacles, including severe fuel supply issues, which are essential for the functioning of hospitals and basic services.
The UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees has emphasized that the costs associated with air transport of aid are excessively high compared to using trucks, which can carry double the amount of assistance. The UNRWA Commissioner-General has called for a more effective opening of border crossings to address the urgent need for support in the region.
Despite the complex situation, the World Health Organization has managed to deliver essential medical supplies to Gaza and is calling for facilitated access to healthcare and transport of medical equipment. However, the population of Gaza continues to face a bleak outlook, struggling to survive amid extreme conditions and an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
