Jordan, along with Egypt and the UN, will hold a conference on June 11th to discuss how to better help the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Leaders from various countries and aid organizations will attend. The conference aims to find better ways to deliver aid to the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza who are facing a critical situation.
This comes after a long conflict that has caused many casualties and forced many to flee their homes. The Israeli blockade on Gaza has made it difficult to get people the food, water, and medicine they need. The UN is concerned that aid isn’t reaching those who need it most.
With over 36,000 Palestinians killed, mostly women and children, and 1.3 million Palestinians seeking refuge in Rafah, the humanitarian state has worsened.
The Israeli blockade on the majority of food, water, and fuel supplies to the strip has led to a near-famine condition, since October 7. The UN stated that the humanitarian aid allowed into the Gaza Strip “is not reaching the population, accusing Israeli authorities of neglecting their legal responsibilities.
