During a recent press conference in the Philippines, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken highlighted the dire situation in Gaza, stating that the entire population is facing severe levels of acute food insecurity. This classification, according to Blinken, is unprecedented and underscores the urgent need for humanitarian assistance in the region.
Blinken emphasized the devastating impact of the ongoing conflict on the civilian population, particularly women and children, and called on Israel to prioritize the protection of civilians caught in the crossfire. He stressed the importance of providing humanitarian aid to those in desperate need and urged Israel to have a post-war plan that balances its security needs with the well-being of Gaza's residents.
