Two weeks after a ceasefire was declared in Gaza, the reality on the ground remains dire. Despite the truce, Israeli forces are being accused of actively obstructing aid deliveries, leading to persistent hunger and thirst across the strip.
The crisis has drawn condemnation from 41 international organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO). In a unified statement, they assert that Israel is “deliberately” preventing essential supplies from reaching a population already on the brink of famine.
The United Nations has issued a stark warning, highlighting the scale of the suffering. According to the UN, a quarter of Gaza’s population is facing severe hunger, a figure that includes 11,000 pregnant women.
Humanitarian bodies warn that the impact of this severe malnutrition will not be short-lived; its devastating effects are expected to be felt by generations to come in Gaza.
