The Situation In Gaza
On October. 7, 2023, brutal attacks were launched in Gaza consisting of airstrikes, ground offensives, and a complete blockade of the Gaza strip. Since then, Gaza has experienced massacres every single day.
The official loss of life is numbered at more than 41,000 people. However, the loss of life is actually considered to be more than 186,000 people. The on-going attack has been so brutal that entire family lineages have been wiped off Gaza’s population registry.
Humanitarian aid agencies and workers have had a difficult time delivering life saving aid through the Gaza borders that were blocked off, restricting the delivery of food, water, medical supplies and equipment, and other life saving aid.
Over 300 aid workers have lost their lives while working to deliver aid to people. Despite repeated calls from the international community to allow aid in, Gaza has plunged into a humanitarian catastrophe.
