As Israel's military campaign against Hamas in Gaza enters its second year, civilians in the region continue to endure immense suffering. According to a senior official from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, the situation remains dire.
Describing the conditions in central Gaza, the official highlighted the constant threat of explosions, bombardments, and the sound of drones overhead every 10 minutes. The lack of regular supplies since Israel's military operation in Rafah began in May has exacerbated the crisis, leading to severe shortages of essential goods.
The official emphasized that the people in Gaza are facing hunger on a daily basis, with sanitary conditions deteriorating rapidly. Despite the presence of aid trucks waiting to enter the region, access has been restricted, further worsening the humanitarian situation.
The official stressed that the dire circumstances in Gaza are entirely man-made and can only be alleviated through the delivery of essential supplies. Urgent action is needed to address the growing humanitarian crisis and prevent further suffering among the civilian population.
