Israel’s attacks on Gaza continue amidst a decision by the United States to block a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire. Efforts to find a solution to the escalating crisis have so far been unsuccessful. The situation in Gaza has worsened as the UN’s food agency had to halt deliveries to the northern part of the territory due to violence and chaos.

Hamas has warned that the cessation of food deliveries could have grave consequences for the people of Gaza. The region has been grappling with a severe food crisis since the conflict between Israel and Hamas began. The UN has repeatedly raised alarms about the humanitarian situation, fearing that food shortages could lead to preventable child deaths.

The ongoing fighting has caused extensive destruction and displacement, with over 2.2 million people teetering on the edge of famine and three-quarters of the population forced to flee their homes.

Ahmad, a resident of Gaza City, expressed the desperation felt by many: “We can’t take it anymore. We don’t have flour, and we don’t even know where to go in this cold weather. We demand a ceasefire. We want to live.”

However, the UN Security Council resolution, which called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and the release of hostages, was vetoed by the United States. Washington’s ambassador to the UN justified the veto, citing concerns that it could undermine negotiations for the release of hostages in Gaza. This decision has drawn criticism from several countries, including China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, France, and Slovenia.

Despite mounting international pressure, Israeli airstrikes persist in Gaza, leading to more casualties. The city of Rafah, a vital entry point for relief supplies, is facing heavy bombardment and is under the looming threat of a ground invasion by Israeli forces. Global leaders have expressed grave concerns about the potential consequences of such an offensive, warning of its devastating impact on civilians.

Efforts to negotiate and mediate a long-term truce have thus far been unsuccessful. Qatar, in collaboration with France, brokered a deal to deliver medicines to Gaza in exchange for the release of hostages. However, a comprehensive ceasefire agreement has remained elusive. Israel insists that a ground operation in Rafah is necessary to counter Hamas.
