In response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, the situation in Gaza has reached a critical point where food, water, and medicine are scarce, pushing the population towards famine. The UN warns that a quarter of Gaza’s population is at risk, and humanitarian aid efforts have been significantly hampered. Despite international attempts to airdrop supplies, the need far outweighs the aid received, with the UN stating that the delivery of at least 300 trucks of aid per day is necessary to prevent famine. The region’s health ministry reports over 30,000 Palestinian deaths, and without rapid humanitarian intervention, this number is expected to rise.
