Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis Worsens
Violence in the Gaza Strip continues to escalate with ongoing airstrikes and shelling, resulting in more martyrs and injuries. The humanitarian situation deteriorates further as food aid is reduced for nearly half a million Palestinians due to funding shortages. The Ministry of Health announced that 7 martyrs and 24 injured were recorded within 24 hours, bringing the total number of casualties since the start of the aggression on October 7, 2023, to 74,494 martyrs and 175,604 injuries. At the same time, residents' suffering increases due to rising prices, shortages of basic goods, and a declining ability to meet daily needs, especially among displaced persons, amid protests condemning the reduction in aid. The World Food Program has decided to cut beneficiaries from 1.6 million to 1.1 million due to lack of funding, depriving about 500,000 Palestinians of their food support. The program requires $450 million to sustain its operations over the next six months, amid fears of worsened food insecurity and increased malnutrition, particularly among children and the most vulnerable groups.
