UN Officials Urge Global Action as Gaza Faces Humanitarian Crisis

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached alarming levels, with over 2.1 million people trapped as the Israeli blockade enters its second month, preventing any commercial or humanitarian supplies from entering the territory. In just one week following the ceasefire's breakdown, more than 1,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured, marking the highest death toll among children in Gaza in a year. UN officials have urgently called for world leaders to uphold international humanitarian law, emphasizing that essential medical supplies are running out, and bakeries have closed due to shortages. Since the ceasefire ended, Israel's military actions have reportedly killed over 1,300 people and displaced over 280,000, while the health system remains overwhelmed. The ongoing violence and displacement orders have forced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee without safe havens. The situation is dire, with humanitarian workers also facing increasing fatalities amid the conflict.
