The United Nations has issued a grave warning regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza as Israel's blockade continues for a third month. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs criticized Israel's plan to control humanitarian aid distribution through military channels, stressing that this approach contradicts essential humanitarian principles. The blockade's effects are being felt particularly acutely among Gaza's artists and cultural figures. Reports of continuous violence, including civilian casualties, have led to an overwhelming sense of despair among the population, further complicating their dire situation.
"It is dangerous, driving civilians into militarised zones to collect rations, threatening lives, including those of humanitarian workers. This will worsen forced displacement across the strip."
"Everyone in Gaza had hope for life, but unfortunately now we wish for death. We are living through all forms of humiliation, disgrace, fear, and hunger."
