Gaza is facing what the UN calls a \u201chorrific human rights and humanitarian crisis\u201d, with over 34,000 Palestinians killed – including 15,000 children – since October 7. Hospitals lie in ruins 🏥💔, mass graves are reported, and 1.7 million people remain displaced. \u201cI’m horrified,\u201d said UN rights chief Volker Turk after Israel’s destruction of critical medical facilities.
🔍 The root causes? A 17-year Israeli blockade labeled \u201ccollective punishment\u201d by UN experts. Now, half of Gaza’s housing and vital infrastructure – water systems, hospitals, waste facilities – have been demolished. Urban survival basics? \u201cSystematically destroyed,\u201d analysts say.
🌍 The International Court of Justice warns this could amount to genocide. For Gaza’s 2.3 million residents, trapped in one of Earth’s most densely packed areas, the question isn’t just ceasefire – it’s ending decades of crisis.
