Gaza Blockade: Catastrophic Humanitarian Crisis, Children Starving

Gaza Blockade Exacerbates Humanitarian Crisis: "Children Are Starving," Says Oxfam Worker The Israeli blockade of Gaza, now in its third month, has created a catastrophic humanitarian situation, according to aid workers. No food, water, shelter, or medicine has been allowed into the territory since early March. Ghada Alhaddad, who works for Oxfam inside Gaza, described the situation as "more catastrophic than before." "We are now seeing children starving, and health facilities are collapsing," Alhaddad said. The video shows heartbreaking scenes of families struggling to survive, with children receiving meager portions of food and people collecting water in containers. The blockade has also severely impacted the water sector, as fuel needed for desalination plants is unavailable. Oxfam has already distributed its last food parcels, and Alhaddad expressed concern about the future, stating that Oxfam is "using the last drops of fuel." The situation underscores the urgent need for international intervention to alleviate the suffering of the people of Gaza. Aid organizations are prepared to deliver supplies as soon as the borders reopen.
