Hunger and disease Continue to Threaten Lives in Gaza,WHO Warns
Gaza Strip – Despite a recent ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid,widespread hunger and disease persist within the Gaza Strip,placing vulnerable populations-particularly children-at grave risk,the World Health Association (WHO) reported on October 24,2025. The ongoing crisis underscores the fragility of the situation even with a pause in fighting, and highlights the immense challenges in delivering sufficient assistance to meet the escalating needs of civilians.
The humanitarian situation in gaza remains dire, with essential systems-including hospitals, schools, and supply networks-severely strained. While aid deliveries have risen by 46% since the ceasefire took effect, the WHO emphasizes that current assistance levels are drastically insufficient to address the scale of the crisis. The agency’s warning signals a continued threat to public health and well-being, demanding a sustained and substantially increased flow of aid to prevent further suffering and potential loss of life.
