UN Warns of Collapse of Gaza Aid Efforts Amid Prolonged Israeli Blockade
ai generated text
The humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip is at a critical stage. The International Committee of the Red Cross has warned that the situation is on the verge of total collapse, with the UN running out of food supplies two months after Israel's total blockade. The blockade has halted all inflows of international aid, including food, medicines, and life-saving supplies, necessary for the survival of the 2.4 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
We are in a position now where over 400,000 people that were receiving assistance from our hot meal kitchens – which is the last lifeline for the population – is in itself grinding to a halt.
When that happens and hostages are released, which is an urgent matter for all of us, then we hope that that humanitarian aid will flow and flow freely.
What I would like to suggest is that we work together on putting the pressure where it really belongs: on Hamas.
Without immediate action, Gaza will descend further into chaos that humanitarian efforts will not be able to mitigate.
The humanitarian response in Gaza is on the verge of total collapse.
This situation must not – and cannot – be allowed to escalate further.
Civilians in Gaza are facing an overwhelming daily struggle to survive the dangers of hostilities, cope with relentless displacement, and endure the consequences of being deprived of urgent humanitarian assistance.
