Why it matters:
The international concern growes over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, now in its 659th day of conflict.The rising death toll from famine,now at 122, including 83 children has intensified calls for global intervention.
The big picture:
As the war in Gaza drags on, civilians face starvation, displacement, and relentless bombardment. Protesters in New York joined a global chorus demanding accountability and immediate relief. The demonstration reflects mounting frustration with perceived inaction by international bodies and the politicization of aid delivery. Meanwhile, Israeli military operations continue to target residential areas, including recent strikes in Gaza City and Khan Younis.
What they're saying:
Protestoes say:“Even UN aid workers in Gaza are starving.”
“Humanitarian aid must be delivered by the UN—not by U.S.-Israeli foundations.”
“The famine is killing children. This is genocide.”
