Israel Hamas: Three months have passed since the tragic October 7 attacks, and United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths highlighted the dire situation in Gaza. He stressed that Gaza has become “uninhabitable” and urged an immediate cessation of hostilities.

Griffiths shed light on the dire state of medical facilities, facing relentless attacks and severe shortages of supplies, exacerbating the trauma faced by the populace seeking refuge.

With 180 Palestinian women giving birth daily amid the chaos, coupled with severe food insecurity, the specter of famine looms large, adding to the already dire situation.

The impact on children, enduring weeks of trauma with no access to essentials like food, water, or education, was highlighted. Griffiths stressed the urgent need for an end to the conflict, not only for the current generation but also for those who will remember these harrowing times.

The humanitarian community faces immense challenges in supporting over 2 million affected individuals, grappling with threats to their own safety, damaged infrastructure, and limited vital supplies. Meanwhile, rocket attacks persist on Israel, and hostages are still held in Gaza, while tensions simmer in the West Bank.

Griffiths urged a collective effort to abide by international law, protect civilians, and address essential needs, emphasizing the urgent need for peace and the responsibility of the international community to make it a reality. He concluded that the war, which should never have commenced, must end promptly.
