How is Gaza coping?

Asked 4 hours ago

Answer

Gaza is facing a dire humanitarian crisis despite a ceasefire and some aid deliveries. Most residents lack food, water, shelter, and basic necessities, with widespread destruction and high prices. Aid flows are limited by border closures and Israeli restrictions, and current efforts are far from meeting the population's needs. Many Gazans have returned to destroyed homes, and the emotional toll is immense.
