Israeli airstrikes have intensified in the Gaza Strip, resulting in at least 60 fatalities, including entire families, and exacerbating an already dire humanitarian situation. The United Nations reports that the region has been under a complete blockade for eight weeks, marking the longest border closure in Gaza's history.
The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced that it has depleted all its food stocks in Gaza, leaving approximately 1.1 million people facing catastrophic food insecurity. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has classified the entire Gaza Strip in IPC Phase 5 (Catastrophe), with nearly half of the population experiencing acute food insecurity.
The situation is further compounded by a lack of access to clean water, medicine, and fuel, leading to widespread malnutrition and disease outbreaks. International humanitarian organizations are calling for an immediate ceasefire and unrestricted access to deliver aid to the affected population.
The international community remains divided on the issue, with some countries condemning the Israeli actions and others supporting Israel's right to self-defense. Diplomatic efforts continue, but a resolution to the crisis remains elusive.
The Israeli military claims it is targeting Hamas infrastructure, but the majority of casualties continue to be civilians, including women and children. Entire residential blocks have been flattened, and hospitals are struggling to function without electricity or medical supplies. The humanitarian aid convoys waiting at the Rafah border remain blocked, while desperation grows inside Gaza. Reports of children dying from dehydration and lack of baby formula are becoming more frequent. The psychological toll on survivors, especially young children, is immeasurable. Meanwhile, international protests against Israeli aggression have erupted in major cities worldwide. Despite mounting pressure, diplomatic talks have yet to produce a ceasefire agreement.
