Gaza: Conditions in Gaza have deteriorated so severely that residents and aid workers are now describing the besieged enclave as a "testing lab" for enforced starvation and dehydration, amid Israel’s relentless blockade and bombardment.
For over two months—62 days—no food, clean water, or medicine has entered Gaza, according to local reporters on the ground. According to al jazeera, from Gaza City, says people feel they are part of an experiment testing human limits under hunger and thirst, as Israeli airstrikes continue to target civilian areas and displacement camps.
Just 30 minutes from Gaza City, 3,000 aid trucks remain stranded at the border, blocked from entry by Israeli authorities. Many of the camps, visible from Mahmoud’s location, are now receiving grim updates: local community kitchens have announced they can no longer provide meals due to lack of supplies.
One camp coordinator relayed news that food distribution had completely halted for the day. “Many of these people here, if not all, are going to go through today without any food,” Mahmoud reported. The situation is not isolated—community kitchens across Gaza are shutting down en masse as the blockade continues with no end in sight.
The deepening crisis has raised further alarms from humanitarian agencies, who warn that enforced starvation and dehydration are no longer byproducts of war—but active tactics. Under international law, such methods may constitute war crimes.
As aid remains frozen at the borders and Israel intensifies military operations, Gaza now teeters on the edge of famine, with entire populations facing another day without food, water, or hope.
