GAZA, 2nd May, 2025 (WAM) -- The humanitarian response in Gaza is on the verge of total collapse amidst the sharp deterioration in the field conditions and the continued Israeli bombing, said the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on Friday, cautioning that a complete blockage of aid for two months, have left civilians without the essentials they need to survive.
Without an immediate resumption of aid deliveries, the ICRC will not have access to the food, medicines, and life-saving supplies needed to sustain many of its programmes in Gaza.
The ICRC remains committed to serving civilians in Gaza, but the deteriorating security situation is severely limiting the work and movement of ICRC personnel and our partners. International humanitarian law is clear: medical personnel and facilities must be respected and protected in all circumstances.
"Aid must be allowed to enter Gaza. Civilians must be protected. Without immediate action, Gaza will descend further into chaos that humanitarian efforts will not be able to mitigate," the ICRC said.
