The situation in Gaza remains dire and is only getting worse as there are more and more reports from the area about the increasing number of people killed in the conflict. While the international communities urge the warring parties to lay down their arms and allow the delivery of aid, there are many hurdles to overcome in order to provide much needed assistance to the civilian populations.
The increasing tension has not only made people focus on the sufferings of people in Gaza but also has put the spotlight on finding a permanent solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Lobby groups are calling for more awareness and pressure on the western countries to intervene and mediate on the matter to do with peace. This on-going conflict shows that the international relations in the region are rather unstable and calls for the world’s leaders to renew their commitment to the diplomatic measures that would result in the stable peace and security for all the parties concerned, emphasizing the need for the international community to address the humanitarian crises that result from the protracted conflict.
The situation in Gaza has become dire and direly urgent with reports indicating that there is severe lack of food, water and medical supplies. Hospitals are overcrowded and lack the necessary facilities and equipment to care for the wounded and the sick with scarce electricity supply. This has led to the loss of basic amenities such as homes, schools, and even health facilities thus leaving many people homeless.
Humanitarian organizations are trying their best to help the affected population, but they face some problems such as limited access and threats. The United Nations and other humanitarian organizations have urged the government and other stakeholders to allow the provision of aid without obstruction in order to provide much needed assistance to the affected population.
The crisis has led to protests and demonstrations across the globe with people of the world demanding an end to the violence and finding a solution to the conflict without resorting to violence. The social media has also played a role in advocacy where people share stories and pictures of the effects of the conflict.
The international diplomatic community is now under a lot of pressure to act and act fast. The demand for cessation of hostilities has been increasing with most countries urging the two parties to resume the peace talks. However, the search for the permanent solution is not easy due to the historical and political issues involved.
The situation in Gaza also presents other important questions related to the international law and human rights. Both the government and the rebels have been accused of committing war crimes and violating the principles of the international humanitarian law and there have been demands for the two sides to be held to account.
While the crisis is ongoing, there are increasing fears on the effects that it may have in the long run on the region. The loss of lives and property, especially the damage on infrastructure and the psychological trauma that children have gone through will remain a major issue even after the current conflict. Thus, the reconstruction of Gaza and the solution of the conflict causes will be possible only with the help of the international community and its constant support.
The Gaza crisis is an eye opener on the suffering of innocent people in the course of conflict and the need for diplomatic solutions to age old conflicts. It calls on the international community to go beyond the provision of humanitarian assistance and find long-term and effective solutions for the conflict that would help to eliminate its causes.
This is especially the case as the world looks on at the events that are happening in Gaza, where the crisis has brought into focus the link between international peace and security. It underlines the importance of strengthening the diplomatic approach, adherence to the principles of humanity and non-combatants’ security in the ongoing armed conflicts across the globe.
