ICRC warns of worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza -- The ceasefire in #gaza has proven vital to saving lives, bringing in humanitarian assistance and sustaining the civilian population. However, Gaza's humanitarian crisis is far from over.
Aid deliveries had substantially increased over the course of the #ceasefire, but they remain a drop in the ocean compared to the immense needs on the ground.
