"The war with Iran has given Israel broader space to intensify its crimes in Gaza, while the humanitarian situation has deteriorated rapidly due to severe restrictions on the crossings, Ramy Abdu, head of the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, told Al Jazeera."
"Israel closed the crossings into the Strip on the first day of the war with Iran, disrupting the entry of trucks carrying humanitarian aid and essential supplies. The move also halted the travel of patients and wounded people, prompting widespread concern as thousands of patients had been waiting to travel abroad for treatment."
"As global focus turns to the unfolding regional war, many fear that Gaza will be relegated to a secondary issue even as more than two million Palestinians in the besieged territory remain trapped in an extremely fragile humanitarian and political situation."
Following US-Israeli attacks on Iran in February, Gaza faces escalating humanitarian challenges as global focus shifts to regional tensions. Israel has tightened restrictions on territory crossings, severely limiting vital humanitarian aid entry. A ceasefire agreement with Hamas reached in October continues to be violated. Over two million Palestinians remain trapped in deteriorating conditions as the healthcare system remains decimated. Border closures have halted patient travel for medical treatment abroad and disrupted essential supply deliveries. The partial reopening of Kerem Abu Salem crossing allows only limited aid trucks, far below the 600 daily trucks required to meet population needs. International attention increasingly turns away from Gaza despite the ongoing humanitarian emergency.
