Overview

  • The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has declared Gaza's humanitarian operations on the verge of total failure due to Israel's two-month blockade.
  • No humanitarian aid has entered Gaza since March 2, leaving food stocks depleted and medical supplies critically low, according to the World Food Programme and ICRC.
  • The ICRC has warned that its collective kitchens, which provide many residents with their only daily meal, will cease to operate within weeks if aid does not resume.
  • Hospitals in Gaza are running out of essential medicines and supplies, risking their ability to provide life-saving care to patients.
  • International organizations, including the UN and WHO, have called for immediate action to allow aid entry, release hostages, and protect civilians as the humanitarian and health crisis deepens.
