As the blockade on Gaza enters its second month with no trucks carrying food, fuel, or medicine allowed in, the humanitarian situation has plunged into catastrophe. Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, confirmed that for over 50 days, Gaza has been completely cut off from life-saving supplies, pushing an already devastated population deeper into despair.

Food stocks are nearly depleted, and the Strip’s medical system is collapsing. Hospitals lack the medication and equipment needed to treat the wounded and the sick. Ambulances are running dry, forced to scale back critical operations due to fuel shortages. Gaza’s bakeries—lifelines for the hungry—are shutting down one by one.

The suffering doesn’t end there. With warehouses emptied of tents, thousands of displaced families are exposed to the elements. Humanitarian access to supplies already inside Gaza has become impossible, blocked by Israeli military orders forcing civilians to flee.

The siege has escalated alongside continued Israeli bombardments by air, land, and sea. Since the violation of the ceasefire agreement on 18 March, over 1,860 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 5,000 injured. The total toll since October 2023 now exceeds 51,000 lives lost, with more than 116,000 injured.

Hundreds of thousands are newly displaced, living in conditions no human should endure. Attacks on civilians, medical teams, and aid workers have intensified. Gaza is not just under siege—it is being dismantled, life by life, as the world looks away.

This is not a crisis caused by nature or circumstance. It is the result of deliberate policy, sustained by silence.
