The situation in Gaza has deteriorated dramatically, with UNRWA’s Philippe Lazzarini declaring it a land of desperation as violence escalates. Israeli airstrikes have killed numerous Palestinians, including families sheltering in their homes. Humanitarian aid, crucial for the survival of over two million people, is being used as a political weapon, resulting in nearly 3,000 trucks stranded at the border. This blockade has triggered widespread hunger and medical shortages. Human rights advocates, including the UN’s special rapporteur, classify the withholding of aid as a potential war crime and call for urgent international intervention.

UN's special rapporteur Francesca Albanese condemned the withholding of humanitarian aid, deeming it a war crime that exacerbates the already catastrophic conditions for Palestinians.
