Gaza is facing a severe humanitarian crisis as Israel intensifies military operations, leading to a complete blockade that has prevented any food or supplies from entering the enclave for over three weeks. The situation has left critical supplies, including food and medical equipment, severely depleted. The World Food Programme has stated that they only have enough food stocks to last another two weeks, putting hundreds of thousands of people at risk of hunger and malnutrition. The UNRWA report highlighted the devastating impact of Israel breaking the ceasefire with intense airstrikes, resulting in the deaths of over 180 children in a single day.
The death toll since the conflict began on Oct. 7, 2023, has surpassed 50,000, according to health authorities. Recently, an Israeli missile strike on a family home in Gaza City killed 15 people, including women and children. Rescue workers, including firefighters and medics, are facing immense challenges in retrieving bodies due to a lack of equipment and resources. Aid workers are risking their lives to help survivors, with some even being injured by Israeli strikes.
Israel has stated its aim is to eliminate Hamas to prevent further attacks, but has become increasingly aggressive in its rhetoric and actions. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised increased military strength and threatened to take land. The international community, including the United States, has been urged to pressure Israel to reveal the fate of missing aid workers and provide assistance to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
