Gaza: The Catastrophic Health and Famine Crisis Under Blockade
The humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached a critical stage, fueled by prolonged conflict and severe aid restrictions. Families are facing unprecedented destruction, with homes, hospitals, and water systems largely obliterated. **Over 2 million people** are internally displaced, desperately lacking food, safe water, and medical care. Hope Collective is fighting on the ground to deliver essential aid through the few available channels.
Destruction on a Staggering Scale
The scale of infrastructural damage is catastrophic. Estimates indicate that nearly **80% of residential housing** and much of the public infrastructure have been destroyed or rendered unusable. The health system is practically wiped out; the World Health Organization reported that over **90% of hospitals** have been damaged or obliterated, making even basic medical treatment impossible.
The blockade and ongoing security concerns severely limit the entry of essential supplies. Food, fuel, and clean water are critically scarce, creating widespread famine risk. Without immediate and sustained support, the humanitarian toll will continue to rise rapidly.
Immediate Needs of the Gaza Population
- **Famine Prevention:** Urgent need for food parcels and safe passage for aid to avert widespread starvation.
- **Emergency Medicine:** Hospitals require surgical kits, anesthesia, and basic medical supplies to treat severe injuries and illnesses.
- **Water & Sanitation:** Lack of clean water is accelerating the spread of infectious diseases like cholera and hepatitis.
- **Temporary Shelter:** Massive numbers of displaced families require basic items like tents, blankets, and essential non-food items (NFIs).
