The United Nations has confirmed famine in Gaza, with a top official calling it a "man-made" crisis that demands urgent action. In an interview with CGTN, Olga Cherevko, spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), stressed that only a permanent ceasefire can halt the devastation. ๐จ
"This isnโt about natural disastersโitโs about human decisions," Cherevko said, highlighting blocked aid routes and logistical hurdles as major barriers. Over 2 million people face severe food insecurity, with children bearing the brunt. ๐๐
While international aid groups scramble to deliver supplies, Cherevko emphasized that sustained peace is the only way to ensure long-term relief. "Without a ceasefire, weโre just putting bandages on a wound that keeps reopening," she added.
The crisis has sparked global protests, with activists urging governments to prioritize diplomacy over escalation. ๐โ Will leaders listen before itโs too late?
