"Gaza's Descent into 'Uninhabitability' Amidst Ongoing Conflict, UN Warns"
The U.N. humanitarian chief, Martin Griffiths, has declared Gaza "uninhabitable" amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, highlighting the dire situation with widespread famine, health crises, and infrastructure destruction. The conflict has resulted in tens of thousands of casualties, with over 22,400 people killed, and has displaced 85% of Gaza's residents. Despite international aid efforts, including airdrops of medical supplies, the humanitarian response is severely hampered by security issues and insufficient resources, leading to extreme food insecurity and health emergencies among the population. The U.N. is calling for an immediate end to the conflict and the use of international influence to facilitate this.
