The humanitarian situation in Gaza is described as apocalyptic, with over 50,000 Palestinians killed, more than 125,000 injured, widespread displacement of 1.9 million people, and severe shortages of water, food, and medical care. About half of Gaza's population is children, and the crisis has led to mass starvation, acute malnutrition, and illness due to an ongoing blockade and military conflict.
UN experts and various states are calling for trade sanctions against Israel due to allegations of genocidal actions and the severe humanitarian consequences of Israel's military campaigns in Gaza. The call aims to pressure Israel to cease hostilities, allow humanitarian aid access, and protect civilian lives.
The aid blockade, which began in March 2025, has severely restricted the entry of food, medicine, and essential supplies into Gaza, leading to a catastrophic hunger crisis. Nearly half a million people face acute malnutrition and starvation, with children among the most affected. The situation has been described as one of the world's worst hunger crises currently unfolding.
Over 1.9 million Palestinians have been displaced due to the conflict, which has lasted over twenty months. The population of Gaza, approximately 2.1 million people, is facing severe shortages of basic needs. The continuous fighting, airstrikes, and ground operations have caused widespread devastation and civilian casualties.
Experts recommend a ceasefire as the best immediate solution to protect Palestinian lives, secure the release of hostages, and allow safe delivery of humanitarian aid. They also urge all parties to uphold international humanitarian law and for the international community to increase humanitarian aid efforts and consider sanctions to pressure cessation of military campaigns.
