Kathmandu, Feb 27: The situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate amidst the relentless war between Israel and Hamas, leaving the civilian population grappling with unprecedented hardships. Millions of Palestinians are now facing the looming threat of starvation as the conflict ravages their homeland, with ordinary people bearing the brunt of the violence.

The conflict escalated on October 7th when Hamas launched an attack on Israel, sparking a chain of devastating events that have since transformed Gaza into a landscape of desolation. The once-thriving region now lies in ruins, with shattered homes and debris strewn across the area, serving as grim reminders of the relentless airstrikes.

Amid the chaos, civilians have been forced to resort to desperate measures for survival, with many turning to meager resources for sustenance. The scarcity of food and essential supplies has pushed millions to the brink of starvation, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.

While Jordan has provided air support in the form of aid drops, the assistance remains woefully inadequate in the face of overwhelming need. Despite efforts to deliver aid via airdrop operations, the sheer scale of hunger and deprivation in Gaza far surpasses the available resources.

Reports indicate that on Monday, a humanitarian mission coordinated by King Abdullah of Jordan saw the deployment of four C-130 aircraft to deliver food and medical supplies to the beleaguered population. However, challenges persist, with some aid materials inadvertently falling into the sea during the operation, necessitating retrieval by boat.

Against the backdrop of widespread devastation and dire humanitarian need, calls for assistance have intensified, with Gaza’s inhabitants appealing to Arab countries for urgent aid. Yet, despite pleas for solidarity and support, the response from regional allies has been tepid, leaving many disillusioned and disheartened.

As the conflict rages on, the plight of Gaza’s residents grows ever more dire, underscoring the urgent need for international intervention to alleviate their suffering and bring an end to the violence that has ravaged their lives and livelihoods.
