Gaza Humanitarian Crisis: Ten Weeks Without Aid

Gaza Crisis: MSF Coordinator Details Severe Aid Blockade A humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Gaza, where, according to Giorgio Monti, medical coordinator for Doctors Without Borders, little to no aid has reached the population for ten weeks. The severe restrictions on aid are causing widespread malnutrition, especially among children. Monti, speaking from Dayr al-Balah in the Gaza Strip, painted a grim picture: "For over ten weeks, nothing is seen, nothing enters." He described how even essential medical supplies, such as ultrasound machines, are being blocked. He further explained that "there are very strict, very rigorous controls," hindering the delivery of vital assistance. The lack of access to food and medicine is creating severe health problems. Monti's testimony highlights the critical need for immediate action to alleviate the suffering of the Gazan people. The dire situation in Gaza is a stark reminder of the urgent need for increased humanitarian access to the region.
