The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has issued a grave warning regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stating that operations are on the brink of “complete collapse.” This alarming announcement comes two months after the Israeli authorities blocked critical aid from entering the region.
In a recent statement, the ICRC highlighted that the situation in Gaza has worsened due to ongoing attacks on hospitals and medical personnel. The organization is calling for an urgent resumption of aid deliveries, emphasizing that without this support, they will be unable to provide essential food, medicine, and other vital supplies to the affected population.
Aid organizations have raised concerns that the last remaining free food kitchens in Gaza are at risk of shutting down in the coming days, further increasing the threat of mass starvation among the more than two million Palestinians residing in the area.
The Israeli occupation regime maintains strict controls over the entry of international aid, which is crucial for the survival of those in Gaza. The Red Cross’s warning underscores the urgent need for humanitarian support to prevent a catastrophic escalation of the crisis.
