OCHA: Gaza Humanitarian Crisis ‘Likely the Worst’ Since Start of WarNew York, 15 Apr (ONA) — The United Nations Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) today stated that the
humanitarian situation in Gaza is “likely the worst” since the
beginning of the Israeli aggression on the besieged enclave in
October 2023, amid a continued blockade on humanitarian aid.

In its latest statement, OCHA said, “The humanitarian situation is
now likely the worst it has been in the past 18 months since the
start of the war,” highlighting that no aid shipments have entered
Gaza for a month and a half the longest such period to date.

Israel has barred the entry of humanitarian aid since 2 March 2025 and
has closed all border crossings into Gaza. Military operations
resumed on 18 March 2025 following a two-month ceasefire.

OCHA also noted that, due to the closure of crossings and internal
movement restrictions, a critical shortage of supplies has forced
authorities to scale back and ration aid deliveries.— Ends/Khalid
