Hunger and chaos: Israel plans help for desperate gaza strips!

Gazastreifen, Palästina - The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip has further tightened in the past few weeks. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in London that the situation in Gaza was unacceptable and emphasized that the two-state solution was the only solution to the conflict. At a press conference, the British politician Keir Karrmer spoke of a non -tolerable situation and emphasized that solutions were being worked on at the level of the head of state.
The discussion about a possible classification of events as a genocide was also heated, while Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the plans for complete control of the Gaza strip. Israel recently launched a major offensive with massive air raids and the use of floor troops.

Netanyahu explained that certain aid deliveries are allowed to prevent famine, and pointed out that even friends of Israel would not tolerate the pictures of mass hunger. The head of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, criticized the humanitarian situation and reported that two million people in the Gaza Strip have to go hungry. Despite the dramatic situation, humanitarian aid is still blocked at the borders.

blockade and auxiliary deliveries

The Israeli government is planning to allow humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip again after almost three months. This is done under the pressure of the United States, which emphasize that a humanitarian crisis cannot be tolerated. The US specialist Steve Witkoff made it clear that ensuring basic supply of food is crucial to prevent famine. Around 2.2 million inhabitants are dependent on external help in the Gaza Strip, and the united nations and aid organizations warn of threatening famine.

The blockage can only be lifted on the condition that Israeli authorities believe that Hamas could resell relief supplies. Current reports also indicate numerous injured and killed civilians, while talks are held in Qatar about a new ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The conditions include the release of ten hostages in exchange for a 45 to 60 day ceasefire and the release of Palestinian prisoners.

The effects on the civilian population

The humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip already has devastating effects on the civilian population. Since the beginning of the air strikes on October 7, 2023, more than 10,000 people have lost their lives, while many have no sufficient access to food and medication. Reports of hunger and medical emergencies are increasingly more common, especially after Israel drastically restricted control over access to relief goods and only allowed a very limited amount of humanitarian aid goods.

The large hospitals in the north are no longer functional, and in the south there is a lack of everything, while emergency services warn of overload. Amnesty International calls for an end to siege and an ceasefire of all parties to the conflict to alleviate the suffering of the civilian population and relieve the health systems. People report helplessly about the need for donations and the fact that many were injured without having received pain relievers or anesthetics during medical treatments.

like the reporting of Kleine Zeitung and ZDF , the situation in the Gaza strip remains extremely tense, while the humanitarian commitment and international attention are urgently necessary. Amnesty International underlines in their reports that civilians are allowed to return to their originally places of residence, from which they were previously driven out.
