Gaza Humanitarian Crisis: Food Insecurity Worsens Amid Infrastructure Collapse

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is escalating, primarily driven by the collapse of critical infrastructure, particularly electricity and refrigeration, which is causing widespread food and medicine spoilage. This infrastructure degradation, confirmed to be a direct consequence of Israeli military operations since October 2023, is exacerbating public health risks and food insecurity. The World Food Programme (WFP) warns that recent, fragile improvements in food security are unsustainable and face imminent reversal due to anticipated funding shortfalls by October.
