UN Warns Gaza Crisis

The UN sounds the alarm on a looming humanitarian disaster in Gaza, where over 60,000 children under five are facing malnutrition due to dire food shortages. With the Israeli blockade preventing aid for more than six weeks, essential supplies are running dangerously low. As conditions deteriorate for Gaza's 2.3 million residents, the world demands urgent humanitarian access and a ceasefire.
