Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis: Hunger, Aid Efforts, and International Response

After five months of devastating conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, international aid groups warn of a humanitarian catastrophe. The north of the strip is on the verge of famine, prompting international alarm. Efforts to send humanitarian aid by ship and airdrops are underway, but aid groups question the effectiveness. The breakdown of security and basic law and order inside Gaza further complicates aid provision. Lower levels of aid delivery compound the crisis, affecting the most vulnerable. Multiple maritime aid initiatives aim to bring aid to Gaza, as international pressure mounts on Israel to do more. The situation remains critical, demanding urgent global attention.
