The United Nations has described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as the worst since the conflict between Israel and Hamas militants began 19 months ago. Despite limited aid deliveries resuming, famine and severe shortages of basic necessities persist across the Palestinian enclave. UNICEF spokesperson Rosalia Bollen highlighted that children in Gaza are dying daily from hunger and lack of medical care, with over 1,230 children killed since March 18 amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes. Bollen emphasized that the humanitarian aid reaching Gaza is insufficient to meet the population's needs, and that dire shortages are endangering the health of pregnant and breastfeeding women and their children.

She also warned that global attention is waning and donor fatigue could exacerbate the crisis. Aid workers continue to operate under dangerous conditions, with Bollen recalling fearing for her life during renewed Israeli airstrikes in March. The UN and UNICEF stress the urgent need for both humanitarian aid and commercial goods to address the escalating crisis in Gaza.
