A significant portion of Gaza's population, roughly one-third, is experiencing prolonged periods without sufficient food.
The resulting surge in malnutrition necessitates immediate medical intervention for a large number of vulnerable women and children.
The ongoing conflict and the blockade imposed on Gaza severely hamper the delivery of essential humanitarian aid.
International calls for Israel to alleviate the blockade and facilitate the flow of aid are growing increasingly urgent, aiming to avert a humanitarian catastrophe.
