The United Nations alerts that the Israel-Hamas war is driving Gaza toward famine. Hospitals in Gaza face increased challenges after renewed Israeli strikes. The UN Security Council, in negotiations, considers a resolution urging humanitarian access and a sustainable cessation of hostilities. The draft does not demand an immediate ceasefire. The war, ongoing since October 7, has claimed over 20,000 lives, with Gaza's entire population at risk of famine. The UN estimates 1.9 million Gazans are displaced, facing dire living conditions. International pressure mounts on Israel to protect civilians amid the escalating humanitarian crisis.
