Gaza has crossed into an unspeakable realm of suffering — not just catastrophe, but something far worse. With no flour, no food, and no clean water, an entire population is being pushed to the brink, abandoned by a world that has grown deaf to their cries.

UNRWA’s Adnan Abu Hasna described a haunting reality: families surviving on one meal every few days, children visibly wasting away from malnutrition, and tens of thousands suffering from severe anaemia. Gaza’s warehouses are empty. The World Food Programme has nothing left to distribute. Trucks carrying desperately needed aid sit just miles away — but the gates remain locked.

This is no natural disaster. It is the result of a deliberate and ongoing siege. For over two months, Israeli forces have imposed a total blockade on Gaza, cutting off food, medicine, and aid while bombardments continue unabated. Despite the ceasefire being broken 51 days ago, no international power has been able — or willing — to force a change.

More than 3,000 aid trucks, fully loaded and ready to enter, are being blocked. Relief agencies have the capacity to sustain the population for months — the only barrier is political. And as the crossings stay closed, famine tightens its grip.

The figures are staggering. Over 91% of the population faces extreme food insecurity. Entire bakeries have shut down. Basic healthcare has collapsed. Gaza is trapped in a deadly triangle of hunger, disease, and death — all manufactured and avoidable.

In the words of many Palestinians, this is not just a humanitarian failure. It is the calculated destruction of a people, left to starve in silence while the world watches
