The World Food Program has issued a warning that parts of Gaza are at risk of famine, with very little food reaching the southern region since the conflict escalated. Despite Israel’s claims of no restrictions on aid deliveries, aid workers report difficulties gaining access to certain areas. With over 25,000 Palestinian casualties reported by Gaza’s health authority, the humanitarian situation is dire. William Schamberg from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) describes the alarming conditions faced by displaced civilians in Rafa, including inadequate access to healthcare, shelter, clean water, and food.
