Gaza has been under relentless bombardment for 16 months, resulting in the tragic loss of over 46,000 lives. Amidst this devastation, a ceasefire-for-hostage deal was brokered in Qatar on January 15 and received approval from Israel on January 18.
In a recent interview with CGTN, Nichola Jones, the Communications Coordinator for the Middle East Crisis at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), shed light on the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. She emphasized the severe challenges faced in delivering essential aid to the affected population, citing infrastructural damage and access restrictions as major obstacles.
Jones highlighted the urgent need for sustained international support to alleviate the suffering of Gaza's residents and to ensure the continuous flow of humanitarian assistance. She called for collaborative efforts from global communities to address the immediate needs and pave the way for long-term recovery and stability in the region.
