Head of UN agencies are calling for an end to the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip caused by the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. They stated that they are unable to effectively provide aid due to the violence and restrictions in the region. The UN officials highlighted the urgent need for food, healthcare, and livelihood assistance as the risk of famine persists.
The Health Ministry in Gaza reported at least 24 people killed and 60 wounded in Israeli military attacks within a 24-hour period, emphasizing the desperate conditions faced by residents. Al Jazeera’s reporter in Gaza described the situation as one-sided and dominated by the Israeli military, leading to destruction and suffering on a daily basis.
The conflict in Gaza began in 2023 when Hamas fighters entered Israeli communities, resulting in casualties and captives. Since then, Israel’s military has caused significant destruction and displaced a large portion of the population, leading to hunger and disease. The UN officials are urging world leaders to take immediate action to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and provide safe access for aid workers to assist those in need.
