Gaza residents are battling a triple threat of extreme heat, scarce resources, and delayed aid as the UN warns daily survival has become "impossible" for many. Temperatures hitting 30°C (86°F) this week have turned basic tasks like finding water into life-threatening challenges, according to humanitarian reports. 💧
Key Challenges
1️⃣ Aid gridlock: Trucks face 18-hour delays reaching Gaza, with supplies "far below minimum needs." 2️⃣ Infrastructure collapse: A key desalination plant operates at <14% capacity after repeated power line damage. 3️⃣ Deadly airdrops: UN confirms aid packages have caused casualties during chaotic drops.
What’s Next?
UN Secretary-General António Guterres called Israel’s move to "take control of Gaza City" a dangerous escalation, warning it could deepen displacement and destruction. Meanwhile, prices for scarce food items remain sky-high despite some recent commercial truck arrivals. 🚚
"The most efficient way to save lives is by road," stressed UN officials, urging all crossings to open for large-scale aid. With forecasts predicting more heat, Gaza’s 2.3 million people face a race against time. ⏳
