Mass starvation is spreading across Gaza due to a siege imposed by the Israeli government, which has created chaos, starvation, and death. Humanitarian organizations report that their workers are now suffering from the same food scarcity as the population. Despite the availability of food, clean water, and medical supplies outside Gaza, access remains blocked. The organizations are calling for the lifting of bureaucratic restrictions, the opening of land crossings, and a restoration of a UN-led humanitarian response. The situation has resulted in thousands of Palestinians being killed while trying to access food and aid.
As the Israeli government's siege starves the people of Gaza, aid workers are now joining the same food lines, risking being shot just to feed their families. With supplies now totally depleted, humanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes.
The Government of Israel's restrictions, delays, and fragmentation under its total siege have created chaos, starvation, and death.
States must pursue concrete measures to end the siege, such as halting the transfer of weapons and ammunition.
The U.N. chief said that is needed now more than ever as he pointed to "the horror show in Gaza" and conflicts in Ukraine.
