The United Nations has revealed that nearly 88% of the Gaza Strip is either under Israeli military control or affected by forced evacuation orders, while around 2.1 million Palestinian civilians — repeatedly displaced — are crammed into the small, devastated area that remains.

In a press briefing on Monday, the UN stated that the level of fear and chaos endured by Gaza’s population has reached the point of "living death."

A staff member from UNRWA described the harrowing scene: “Children are withering before our eyes” due to extreme malnutrition and worsening dehydration. He added that doctors in Gaza are watching children vanish and die, powerless to intervene.

Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation has been waging a campaign of systematic genocide in the Gaza Strip — through mass killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement — all while ignoring international outcries and defying binding orders from the International Court of Justice to halt its crimes.

This genocide has resulted in more than 195,000 Palestinians killed or wounded, the vast majority of them women and children, with over 11,000 still missing beneath the rubble. The siege has caused a man-made famine that has claimed the lives of countless civilians, including infants and toddlers. Meanwhile, entire neighborhoods lie in ruins, and hundreds of thousands remain displaced with no safe haven.
