Humanitarian crisis in Gaza: Huge demand of every kinds of aids

Standing next to a long line of trucks waiting for aid on Saturday, UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced that the time had come to "truly flood Gaza with lifesaving aid". He also referred to the hunger of the enclave as a "moral outrage." He insisted that Israel and Hamas immediately end their hostilities.

When Guterres made his comments, he was near the southern Gazan city of Rafah on the Egyptian side of the border. Israel intends to conduct a ground assault in the region despite grave warnings of imminent catastrophe. More than half of Gaza's population now considers that area to be a safe refuge.

"Any further onslaught will make things even worse," adds Guterres, suggesting a sharp decline in conditions for Palestinians, detainees, and the surrounding area.

The UN Security Council's failure to come to a unanimous consensus regarding the wording of a resolution endorsing "an immediate and sustained cease-fire," he made his speech the next day.

The challenges experienced by international humanitarian organizations in delivering aid to Gaza have been primarily ascribed to Israel. Guterres repeatedly brought this up. According to Egypt's governor, Mohammed Abdel-Fadeil Shousha, around 7,000 relief vehicles are currently stationed in the North Sinai region, prepared for shipment to Gaza.

In addition, Guterres stated, "It is time for an ironclad commitment by Israel for total... access for humanitarian goods to Gaza, and in the spirit of compassion that is associated with the month of Ramadan, it is also time for the immediate release of all hostages." After some time, he told the media that a humanitarian ceasefire and the release of captives ought to occur simultaneously.

It's been reported that 30 more people's bodies were taken during Hamas' October 7th attack, and the group is thought to be holding about 100 hostages. The attack that began the war claimed the lives of nearly 1,200 individuals, the majority of them were civilians.

More than 32,000 deaths have been directly linked to Israel's bombardment on the enclave, according to health experts in Gaza. The attack has also caused significant damage to a significant portion of the region and prompted about 80% of the 2.3 million Palestinians to flee. The Gaza Ministry of Health announced on Saturday that in the last 24 hours, the dead bodies of 72 victims have been moved to hospitals.

The Ministry of Health has stated that women and children account for the majority of casualties, despite the fact that they do not distinguish between militants and civilians. Israel holds Hamas accountable for civilian killings and places the blame on the military for conducting operations in residential areas.

The Israeli government responded by restating that hundreds of relief vehicles are available and waiting to be sent by the United Nations and other allies.
