Gaza a ‘death zone,’ WHO chief says, as U.N. leaders look to salvage aid response

Escalating conflict is driving record levels of gender-based violence, displacement and hunger in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), threatening to push the country to the brink of catastrophe without urgent international action.

InterAction and 50 Member CEOs, some of whom have organizations that work in Gaza, urge President Biden to take decisive and actionable steps to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

While the administration continues to speak forcefully about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, it also continues to provide the very bombs responsible for burying civilians in rubble and hindering aid delivery.

Gaza has evolved into one the world’s most dangerous places for humanitarians to provide aid. As of March 20, 2024, at least 196 humanitarians have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the war.
