Since the Israeli military resumed its full-scale assault on the Gaza Strip, dozens of Palestinians — half of them children — are being killed every single day. Relentless airstrikes, drone attacks, and artillery barrages continue to rain down on densely populated urban areas, particularly in Gaza City and the southern city of Rafah. No place is safe. The bombardment indiscriminately targets residential neighbourhoods, health facilities, water infrastructure, and even schools being used as makeshift shelters for displaced families. Entire blocks are being systematically erased, leaving behind only rubble and grief. Health workers on the ground describe the situation as apocalyptic. Mass casualty incidents occur daily, and hospitals, already crippled by severe shortages of medications, surgical supplies, fuel, and blood units, are barely functioning. The remaining healthcare facilities are overwhelmed and on the verge of collapse. Doctors are being forced to perform surgeries without anesthesia, and patients are dying from treatable wounds due to a lack of basic medical care. Israel’s use of food, water, and medicine as tools of warfare — primarily affecting children and women — is a blatant violation of international humanitarian law. Yet, the global community continues to respond with apathy and inaction, watching the crisis unfold with near-paralytic indifference. The destruction of civilian infrastructure and the deliberate targeting of humanitarian lifelines is not collateral damage — it is policy. Eyewitness footage shows entire residential buildings flattened in seconds. Since the end of the temporary ceasefire in early March, Israeli authorities have imposed a near-total blockade on Gaza, halting the entry of all humanitarian and commercial goods. Critical supplies such as food, clean water, fuel, and medicine are dwindling fast, with some stocks expected to run out within days unless access is urgently restored. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has issued dire warnings, stating that each day without food deliveries brings Gaza closer to a catastrophic hunger crisis. Over two million people are suffering under siege and starvation as this genocidal campaign continues unabated. The combination of mass displacement, food insecurity, and the collapse of the healthcare system is creating a humanitarian nightmare of historic proportions. The world must act now — before Gaza becomes a graveyard of silence and forgotten promises.
