The Gaza Strip is experiencing a severe humanitarian crisis exacerbated by an ongoing heatwave and a shortage of essential supplies. Over 90% of Gaza's population is living in tents under extreme heat conditions, leading to increased illnesses in displacement camps. Medical teams face critical shortages of supplies, limiting their ability to treat the wounded and sick. Despite international criticism, Israel has announced measures to increase aid deliveries to Gaza, but the actual number of aid trucks passing through remains far below the required 600 trucks per day, with only a few dozen trucks allowed entry. The destruction of infrastructure, including hospitals, has left the region largely uninhabitable and overwhelmed medical facilities. Residents struggle to secure sufficient water for drinking and sanitation, with experts warning that the water supply is inadequate to sustain life. Many families are forced to consume unsafe water due to heat and thirst, further worsening health conditions. Aid workers report severe food shortages, with many families waiting for meals amid widespread hunger. Calls for a ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian access have been made to alleviate the crisis.
