Gaza is facing a dire humanitarian crisis as the United Nations pushes forward with a “detailed, principled” aid plan, but faces resistance from Israel. The situation is growing increasingly desperate, with rising starvation deaths reported across the region. UN Secretary-General Guterres is calling on Israel to accept the UN’s aid plan. Aid entering Gaza accounts for less than 1% of the population’s needs.
This comes as Israeli strikes across Gaza have killed dozens and forced a main hospital to close (May 18, 2025). Concerns are being raised internationally.
