As the situation in northern Gaza deteriorates due to an ongoing Israeli siege, Palestinians are facing extreme hunger and desperation for aid. The United Nations has issued alarming warnings of an imminent famine, highlighting that the entire northern population is at risk. Despite these warnings, Israel has rejected claims of an imminent famine as biased, while humanitarian access remains severely restricted, with aid deliveries reported at only a fraction of previous levels. Recent strikes have resulted in the deaths of over 50 children in just two days, intensifying the humanitarian crisis that many experts describe as apocalyptic. Efforts for mediation have also been jeopardized as Qatar steps back from its role, which adds to the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing violence and suffering in the region.
