The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is reaching unprecedented levels, with famine in northern Gaza imminent, according to United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths. The closure of two crossings has exacerbated the situation, preventing the delivery of essential aid. Griffiths described the situation as unparalleled in his career, highlighting the severe shortages and the dire conditions faced by the population. UNRWA's Philippe Lazzarini emphasized the need for large-scale aid and safe access to address the extensive needs. A U.S. doctor, Dr. Hamawy, currently in Gaza, reported witnessing unprecedented atrocities and targeting of medical professionals, further complicating the humanitarian response. Griffiths conveyed to Al Jazeera that the crisis is unparalleled in his career. Dr. Hamawy told NPR he and his colleagues were prevented from leaving Gaza earlier this week.
