For more than 700 days, Gaza has been locked under a devastating siege marked by continuous bombardment and starvation. Today, the city and surrounding areas remain caught in an unending cycle of destruction, with each day bringing fresh loss of life and deepening desperation. Families are trapped amid collapsing neighbourhoods, overwhelmed hospitals, and dwindling supplies, as the siege tightens and the humanitarian catastrophe escalates.

Recent attacks have claimed dozens of lives in just 24 hours, with children and women among the victims. Residential areas across Gaza, from Khan Younis to Gaza City’s refugee camps, have been reduced to rubble. Entire buildings have been destroyed, and survivors are left searching for loved ones under constant threat. Medical services, already stretched to breaking point, struggle to cope as casualties mount and vital resources disappear. Starvation now claims lives alongside the violence, with hundreds dying from hunger as blockades cut off access to food, water, and medicine.

The scale of the crisis is staggering. Tens of thousands of casualties have been recorded since late 2023, and the siege shows no sign of ending. Families endure forced displacement while entire districts vanish under bombardment. Gaza’s plight has become a prolonged emergency, a stark reminder of the human cost when warfare is sustained without resolution. Without urgent intervention, what began as military action has become an existential crisis for a besieged population.
