GAZA IN DESPAIR

Gaza has been described as an "open-air prison." Conditions in Gaza were dire even before the recent escalations in conflict, with occupation, blockade, and recurrent conflicts plunging people into deep poverty and suffering. The Gaza Strip, home to approximately 2.1 million people, has been under a land, sea, and air blockade imposed by Israel since 2007.

The people of Gaza are in the midst of an epic humanitarian catastrophe. Four in five Gazans already face hunger and starvation, according to the World Food Programme. Famine is a reality for nearly all the besieged population
