Approximately 1.4 million Palestinians in Gaza are facing acute food insecurity. This crisis is occurring alongside deepening shortages of essential medicines in the region.

Samah Hamad stated that Palestinians in Gaza are facing a 'systematic Israeli policy targeting the foundations of life' via the blockade and restrictions on the entry of food, water, and medicine.

Ramesh Rajasingham stated that any improvement in Gaza was achieved only because of continued humanitarian aid delivery.
