The humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip continues, with severe food scarcity gripping the population due to Israel’s tight restrictions on the entry of aid. In the southern city of Khan Younis, a charity organization distributed hot meals to displaced Palestinians, drawing large crowds who waited in line for hours in cold weather. Hundreds of Palestinians, including many children, gathered for a single portion of food, highlighting the desperate conditions. United Nations agencies have repeatedly warned of widespread acute food insecurity across Gaza and systematic obstacles to the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
