Gaza's Humanitarian Nightmare: Resource Hoarding and Deteriorating Conditions

UN-run shelters in Gaza are overcrowded and lacking basic necessities, with one toilet for every 700-800 people and no bread or stoves for cooking. The ongoing conflict has resulted in a high humanitarian toll, with over 10,000 deaths in Gaza and 1,400 in Israel. The situation in hospitals is dire, with limited capacity, insufficient medical personnel, and a shortage of food and water. Over 700,000 people are crowded into UN-run shelters, while others sleep in cars or tents. Despite calls for a ceasefire or humanitarian pause, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected them, stating that the offensive will continue until hostages taken by Hamas are released.
