On July 29, a tragic incident unfolded near the Zikim crossing in northern Gaza as armed forces opened fire on Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid. Six individuals assigned to secure aid trucks were reportedly killed, and many others injured, highlighting the brutal impact of prolonged hardships.
For 18 years, Gaza has faced a strict blockade, and since March 2, all crossings have been shut, effectively halting aid convoys. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, at least 147 people have died of starvation since October 2023, including 88 children. 😢
This heartbreaking situation resonates with young, socially conscious communities across South and Southeast Asia who value global human rights and solidarity. In our fast-paced world, where technology connects us all, it’s vital to stay informed and support humanitarian efforts that could ease such suffering. Let’s stand together in urging for practical solutions and global compassion.
