Major aid groups have warned that 95% of their services in Gaza have been suspended or cut due to ongoing Israeli bombardment and blockade, leaving many children with less than one meal a day. The humanitarian aid system is on the brink of total collapse after 18 months of military operations. With severe shortages of food and baby formula, malnutrition is rampant, and aid workers express frustration over the political choices driving this crisis, rather than just humanitarian failures affecting the population.
Bushra Khalil, policy head of Oxfam, highlighted the dire situation: "Kids are eating less than one meal a day and struggling to find their next meal... Everyone is purely eating canned food. Malnutrition and pockets of famine are definitely occurring in Gaza."
Amande Bazerolle from Doctors Without Borders stated, "This is not a humanitarian failure; it is a political choice, and a deliberate assault on a people's ability to survive, carried out with impunity."
The urgent warning from leaders of major aid groups emphasizes that the humanitarian aid system in Gaza is facing total collapse, brought on by continued Israeli military operations and blockades over the last 18 months.
