Deep dives
Conditions in Gaza Amid Ongoing Conflict
The humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached critical levels, with the United Nations declaring conditions as apocalyptic. The entire population in the northern part of Gaza is at risk of starvation, disease, and violence, exacerbated by a blockade that has severely limited aid. Reports from various UN organizations highlight the dire consequences of this situation, with millions relying on life-saving supplies that are increasingly difficult to obtain. Israel's claim that it is allowing aid into Gaza is contested, as the US has urged increased aid flows to alleviate the crisis confronting the 2.2 million residents.
