Gazans face starvation and dire humanitarian conditions as Israel’s blockade persists

At least 15 people were killed when an Israeli airstrike targeted a school sheltering displaced individuals in Gaza City, adding to the growing toll of the ongoing conflict. The humanitarian crisis in the enclave remains dire, with a blockade on aid that has been in place for over two months, exacerbating the suffering of civilians. Meanwhile, Israel has approved new war plans, and a far-right figure within the cabinet has openly outlined the government’s objectives, signaling a continued escalation in the region. UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs spokesperson, Olga Cherevko, provides further explanation on the situation.
