Gaza is experiencing a severe humanitarian crisis marked by extreme shortages of water and food amid ongoing military conflict. Many residents, weakened by hunger, are forced to trek daily across devastated terrain to collect scarce drinking and washing water. The average water consumption remains far below the minimum emergency requirements, exacerbated by polluted aquifers and damaged pipelines that contribute to the spread of disease. Concurrently, the region faces a rising death toll from hunger, with reports indicating dozens of Palestinians killed while seeking aid. Israel is reportedly considering a full occupation of Gaza as the humanitarian situation deteriorates. Human rights organization B'Tselem has warned that the conditions enabling what it describes as genocide in Gaza could extend to the West Bank. The prospects for a ceasefire remain bleak as the humanitarian collapse deepens.
