Key takeaway In a crisis that has killed over 70,000 people, the basic conditions for civilian life have been steadily dismantled, and it's clear that even the minimum amount of aid needed in these communities is not able to get in to Gaza.
Why this matters
The 1,000-day crisis in Gaza has severe implications for the humanitarian system, with aid access severely limited and the basic conditions for civilian life dismantled. The fact that the UN minimum target for aid trucks was met on only 12% of days highlights the significant challenges faced by humanitarian organizations in delivering essential aid to those in need. The destruction of infrastructure, including hospitals and schools, has further exacerbated the crisis, leaving thousands without access to basic necessities like healthcare and education. The situation is particularly dire for children, who are being forced to prioritize survival over education, with many now holding water and jerrycans instead of pens and books. As the crisis continues, it is essential that donors and supporters increase their support to help address the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, and that restrictions on humanitarian access are lifted to allow aid to reach those who need it most.
