The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned that the humanitarian response in Gaza is on the brink of collapse due to six weeks of intense conflict and a two-month blockade preventing essential aid. Civilians are facing extreme hardships, including a lack of food, water, and medical supplies, with hospitals struggling to maintain lifesaving care amid ongoing violence that has claimed the lives of healthcare workers. The ICRC emphasizes the urgent need for humanitarian access, the protection of civilians, and the release of hostages to prevent further deterioration of the situation.
