The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has escalated with at least 20 people killed and dozens wounded in shelling while waiting for food aid, according to CNN. An attack on a distribution center in Rafah resulted in at least one UNRWA staff member killed and 22 injured. The situation is described as catastrophic, with access to people in northern Gaza remaining insufficient. Civilians, including pregnant women and new mothers, are facing dire conditions, with AlArabiya_Eng reporting small and sickly newborns, stillbirths, and women forced to undergo C-sections without adequate anesthesia. UNFPA highlights the increasing difficulty in finding safe spaces for pregnant women and new mothers. Aid agencies are calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire to allow for the delivery of essential supplies, including food, fuel for hospitals, and special medical supplies.

In Gaza, civilians are being starved. Aid agencies I met this week told me about the work they’re doing to make food and supplies available. We know that for aid to reach those in the most desperate need, there needs to be an immediate and permanent ceasefire. https://t.co/wDA9TOy9NC
