On August 1, 2025, the United Nations referenced That despite the announcement of the daily military cessation of July 27 in Western Gaza “to improve humanitarian answers”, Israeli forces continued attacks alongside food aids and near Gaza Humanitarian Institutions (GHF). According to the UN, between July 30 and 31, 105 Palestinians were killed and at least 680 were injured along the escort routes in the Zikim area in northern Gaza, South Khan Younis and near the GHF locations in the middle Gaza and Rafah. As mentioned, as of May 27, at least 1,373 Palestinians were killed while looking for food. 859 near GHF and 514 along the routes of food accompaniment.
The High Commissioner’s Office for Human Rights (Ohchr) referenced that most of the murders were committed by the Israeli army: “[OHCHR] It has no information that these Palestinians were directly involved in hostilities or raised any threat to Israeli security forces or other people. Every person who was killed or injured had fought desperately for survival, not only for themselves, but also for their families and dependent individuals. ”
Intentionally, the attacks on civilians who are not directly involved in hostilities and deliberately using civilians as a method of war, depriving them of objects that are necessary for their survival, including it in order to obstruct relief, are intentional.
Information from the United Nations is just one of the plethora of Gaza situation reports, the situation that cannot be ignored and not without destroying the rest of the humanity of the international community.
On July 29, 2025, the Integrated Food Phase Sorting Platform (IPC) identified That two of the three limits of hunger have been achieved in Gaza: collapsing food consumption and acute malnutrition. Hunger has not yet been declared. This is the third criterion, no malnutrition deaths be proven. However, as reported by the UN, there is increasing evidence that “extensive starvation, malnutrition and illness” lead to an increase in hunger -related deaths, which is the third stake.
When we clarify the findings, the IPC stressed that “one in three people now goes without food for days at a time. Platform experts, at least half a million people are expected to be in phase 5 of the IPC – destruction – characterized by hunger, poverty and death.
Also on July 29, 2025, several United Nations experts published a joint statement Expressing an alarm in the deliberate withholding of Israel’s access to safe drinking water by the Palestinians in Gaza: “The cutting of water and food is a silent but deadly bomb that mainly kills children and babies. Challenge of life conditions calculated to bring about the natural destruction of a population – another act of genocide. “
The bad situation is due to nearly two years of conflict that caused terrorist attacks led by Hamas in Israel in October 2023 that left about 1,250 dead and about 250 people who were hired. The ongoing conflict resulted in thousands killed. About 70% of Gaza infrastructure has been destroyed. About 90% of the gaza population has been displaced. Safe areas have been reduced to less than 12% of the total territory.
The situation in Gaza requires urgent attention and response from the international community – to avoid further political suffering and death. While some steps have been taken to provide humanitarian assistance, as is the case, the steps seem to be too small and too late to address the current and ever -increasing needs of the population. The international community must come together to ensure that hunger and death forecasts are not implemented.
