Gaza is facing a suffocating humanitarian crisis as the occupying entity continues to restrict the entry of aid and intensifies its field violations, threatening the collapse of the ceasefire agreement.
UN agencies confirmed that the occupation is obstructing the entry of relief supplies and preventing essential items for children and patients, while satellite images revealed the destruction of more than 1,500 buildings since the start of the so-called truce in October 2025.
Doctors Without Borders reports daily fatalities in Gaza, particularly near what the usurping entity calls the “Yellow Line,” as access for patients to hospitals within military zones becomes increasingly difficult.
The Palestinian Red Crescent warned that 80% of Gaza’s water is contaminated, with more than 70,000 recorded cases of hepatitis, while thousands of displaced families live in tents lacking water and electricity amid the spread of disease as winter approaches.
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) warned that ongoing restrictions imposed by the occupation continue to block the entry of life-saving supplies for children suffering from severe malnutrition in Gaza.
UNICEF spokesperson Ricardo Peris said during a press briefing in Geneva that 938,000 units of ready-to-use infant formula have been held back since August, warning that the delay is threatening the lives of thousands of infants in the Strip.
He added that restrictions on essential humanitarian materials—such as birthing kits, solar-powered refrigerators, spare parts, generators, and water-purification supplies—are severely hindering humanitarian organizations from addressing urgent needs.
Peris noted a slight increase in aid entering Gaza in recent weeks, stating that 5,500 trucks arrived between October 12 and November 10. However, many critical supplies remain banned from entry.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that more than 6,000 amputation cases urgently require rehabilitation, including children and women, amid the near-total collapse of the health system.
Observers warn that continued violations and the worsening humanitarian catastrophe threaten to unravel the ceasefire unless urgent international measures are taken to reinforce it and ensure the sustained flow of aid.
