Gaza War Endures Two Years amid Worsening Humanitarian Crisis

Two years after the October 7, 2023 conflict escalation, Gaza remains deeply affected by ongoing violence, humanitarian crises, and political stalemates. Ceasefire talks in Egypt aim to end bombardments, facilitate hostage exchanges, and allow aid access, but famine and malnutrition have become severe due to restricted supplies and power outages, with temporary ceasefires failing to provide lasting relief. Solidarity marches, such as the Gaza Determination March in Ankara, express global support for Gaza, condemning Israeli actions as genocidal and urging unified action beyond slogans. Palestinian Ambassador to India Abdullah Mohammed Abu Shawesh highlighted the extreme suffering in Gaza, including over 66,000 deaths and medical surgeries without anesthesia, emphasizing the desperate humanitarian situation. Meanwhile, Israel has empowered certain Palestinian militias opposed to Hamas, providing military support and control over aid routes, a move criticized for contributing to aid looting and worsening conditions in Gaza. Ghana reaffirms its commitment to international law and human rights amidst the crisis, reflecting a global concern over the ongoing conflict and its humanitarian impact.
