Gaza: new casualties, hampered aid, and population still on the brink
Since the last update, the situation in Gaza remains marked by a combination of deadly strikes and a deepening humanitarian crisis. Civilians, already exhausted by months of war, face new losses and increasingly precarious living conditions.
New deaths reported in several areas
In recent days, bombings and shootings have caused several dozen Palestinian deaths in different parts of the Gaza Strip, particularly in the south and around Gaza City. Local medical sources indicate that the victims include children and the elderly, affected while they were in homes or temporary shelters.
The overall toll continues to rise and now exceeds 71,000 Palestinian deaths, while thousands of people remain missing under the rubble. Rescue teams explain that the lack of equipment significantly slows down recovery operations.
Humanitarian access still limited
Humanitarian organizations report that aid entry remains severely restricted, complicating the distribution of food, clean water, and medicine. In several displacement camps, families are entirely dependent on irregular distributions, while supplies are quickly running out.
The suspension or obstruction of certain NGO activities in recent weeks continues to have direct consequences: fewer mobile clinics, fewer food distributions, and reduced health monitoring for already extremely vulnerable populations.
Healthcare system under constant pressure
Hospitals still functioning operate under extreme conditions, with exhausted staff and limited resources. Doctors report an increase in deaths related to untreated injuries, infections, and malnutrition, emphasizing that the health crisis now extends beyond just bombings.
An exhausted and displaced population
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians still live in makeshift shelters or tents, exposed to harsh weather and insecurity. Families displaced multiple times describe a feeling of abandonment and profound psychological fatigue, while total uncertainty remains regarding the future.
