The Gaza region faces severe humanitarian crises with health officials estimating over 55,000 deaths since October 2023 due to conflict and starvation. Blockades by Israel limit food distribution, leading to accusations of a manmade disaster compounded by military actions. A U.N. report highlights casualties even in humanitarian settings like food distribution centers. Voices from the community, including Palestinian Americans, call for a reduction of restrictions and emphasize the urgency of the situation, labeling it a preventable calamity.
Gaza health officials estimate that at least 55,000 people in the territory have been killed since Israel invaded after the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks.
Israel allows a very limited distribution of food via the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians at food distribution centers, according to the United Nations.
I do not want Israeli children to live in fear, and I don't want Gazan children to starve to death. It is that simple. Food is being blocked.
This is a manmade humanitarian disaster. It could stop at any point. We could be putting pressure on this.
