Israeli military escalation as Gaza’s humanitarian crisis reaches ‘catastrophic proportions’
The Gaza Strip is witnessing a clear military escalation and a soaring humanitarian crisis that has resulted from Israel’s ongoing ban on all sorts of humanitarian aid to the Strip.
The United Nations has stated that the Gaza Strip has been witnessing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis since October 2023. And now, especially, after more than 50 days with no food [or] water, no medical supplies entering the territory, raising serious alarms about the serious repercussions that will emerge in light of the high rates of malnutrition among children.
[There are] ongoing calls by European leaders and international actors to allow aid access for the Strip, in order to alleviate this aggravating crisis with its catastrophic proportions.
