Gaza’s nights are now filled with the echo of grief, as families mourn yet another wave of loss under relentless Israeli bombardment. Over the past day alone, scores have been killed and hundreds injured, many while simply trying to secure food, water, or shelter. Among them were children who perished not from missiles, but from the slow cruelty of hunger and deprivation.

Hospitals, already buckling under shortages, are overwhelmed by the injured, while rescue teams battle to reach those trapped beneath the rubble. The blockade has turned the act of survival into a dangerous gamble, where walking to collect aid can mean never returning home. Entire neighbourhoods lie in ruins, and the sound of digging through debris has become as common as the sound of explosions.

For Gaza’s people, the siege is no longer just a war of weapons, it is a war against their very right to exist. Each day brings a heavier toll, not only in lives lost but in hope extinguished, as the world watches a humanitarian catastrophe deepen with no reprieve in sight.
