Gaza has officially entered the first stage of famine as shortages of food, clean water, and fuel intensify, according to local humanitarian officials. Water wells have shut down due to a lack of fuel, and the UN has been unable to deliver food aid since March 2. Most bakeries have closed, and over 80% of hospitals are unable to function due to medicine and anesthesia shortages. Despite the crisis, residents continue to observe Ramadan, pleading for international intervention to end their suffering.
