THE ongoing crisis in Gaza demands immediate international attention. With over a million Palestinians displaced and thousands dead, the region is confronting an unparalleled humanitarian catastrophe. As aid accumulates at the Egyptian border, the urgency to deliver it to the suffering populace cannot be understated. Israel’s blockade has exacerbated the situation, cutting off vital resources like water, fuel, and electricity, leaving the already vulnerable population at the brink of a health disaster.

The UN’s announcement of aid delivery into Gaza via the Rafah border crossing with Egypt comes as a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak scenario. However, the success of this humanitarian operation hinges on the immediate establishment of a ceasefire. The Israeli air strikes have not only cost lives but its blockade has also hampered the delivery of critical aid to the distressed population. The major capitals need to use their influence on Israel to get this blockade on resources lifted immediately. Basic amenities like water and electricity are fundamental human rights, and their denial not only exacerbates the suffering of innocent civilians but also lays the groundwork for potential public health disasters such as cholera outbreaks, threatening the lives of countless more. The world must unite in condemning the violence and advocating for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. The safety and well-being of civilians in Gaza cannot be compromised any longer. A peaceful resolution is not just a desire but an urgent necessity. The international community must step up and exert all possible diplomatic pressure to bring the two parties to the table of negotiations. Though nothing good can be expected from an oppressor like Israeli but it must be realized that a lasting solution can only be achieved through respect for human rights and a commitment to peace. Israel must be stopped from further massacre of Palestinians. The United Nations, alongside other global stakeholders especially Washington, need to play a pivotal role in facilitating such discussions in order to heal the wounds of innocent Palestinians.
