Deteriorating situation in Gaza raises concerns over hunger and healthcare

UNRWA has intensified efforts to import more food into Gaza and ensure distribution to those in need, including the 1.4 million people in Rafah.

However, the agency is now primarily focused on life-saving measures due to the damaged hospital network.

Hospitals are facing a capacity crisis, with regular beds exceeding 300% and ICU beds over 200%.

The security situation has forced organizations like Medecins Sans Frontier to evacuate hospitals, adding pressure on civilians and raising concerns about a potential explosion in southern Gaza impacting humanitarian responses. (ILKHA)
