00:00First of all, can you give us the latest on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza right now?

00:06Well, it's simple. I'm going to quote the UN.

00:08The UN has warned that Gaza is currently facing its worst humanitarian crisis since the beginning of hostilities.

00:14We're talking about October 7 here.

00:16So the blockade that has been renewed by the Israeli government since March 2, which is about 60 days,

00:24has completely stopped the entry of any humanitarian aid.

00:27This is a flagrant violation of international law.

00:30In terms of food, in terms of access to health care, I mean, all essentials are stopped.

00:35Like the World Food Program five days ago reported or 10 days ago reported that food stocks have been depleted.

00:42Bakeries and community kitchens have either shut down or will very soon do so.

00:47And community kitchens are the last remaining lifeline in the Gaza Strip.

00:52The risk of hunger, of malnutrition and of famine is growing.

00:55As for the health care system, it is on the brink of collapse.

00:59It is overwhelmed by matched casualties.

01:01The very little infrastructure that remains is critically hindered by the full blockade.

01:06There is a cutoff of essential life-saving medicines, vaccines, medical equipment.

01:19This is a cutoff.

01:21I would like to see you in the back pocket.

01:23This is a cutoff of essential life-saving medicines.

01:25And the piece of connection is quite the same.

01:27There's a cutoff of essential life-saving-ness.

01:29It's a cutoff of essential life-saving medicine.

01:30The second video, when you go to a video, I'd like to show you in a video.
