More than 100 international humanitarian organisations have called on governments around the world to immediately open all land crossings into Gaza, restore full access to food, clean water, medical supplies, shelter materials, and fuel, and to support a UN-led humanitarian mechanism, alongside an immediate and lasting ceasefire, Wafa reports.

In a joint statement issued Wednesday, humanitarian organisations said that aid workers are now standing in food lines, risking gunfire, just to feed their families, while the Israeli government’s blockade continues to starve Gaza’s population.

Organisations report witnessing the rapid physical deterioration of colleagues and partners, as aid supplies run critically low.

One humanitarian worker summed up the desperation: “Every morning in Gaza, people ask the same question — will I get to eat today?”
