not just of bombs and tongues but of hunger and starvation there's a severe lack of food and all the basic necessities essential for survival but the situation is extremely worsening in Gaza amidst

incursions into gaza's far southern city of Rafa and closed Aid Crossings Rafa Crossing has been the main entrance for humanitarian Aid since the War Began but it is now closed during the idea of operations in that area the United Nations says gazans now face a complete disaster as key aid supplies are unable to get in the problem that we are facing here in Gaza is that for seven months people have not had the needs met there are no hygiene kits there is no fresh water there is no food for people so when the crossing is even not functioning for a day this is having a significant impact on the response that we are able to provide here so for seven days now without humanitarian a Aid coming in it's a complete disaster here a complete disaster as the Rafa Crossing has been seized by Israel other eight Crossings have become critical Israel has reopened the Kim Shalom Crossing in the South and also open the areas Crossing in the north however no significant amount of Aid is being
