Gaza Is Dying And The World Is Watching

I don’t know how to start this. Maybe because there’s no easy way to describe what’s happening in Gaza. It’s not a war. It’s not a “conflict.” It’s something darker. Something that feels like the world has gone silent while an entire population is being erased.

Since October 7, 2023, over 61,000 people have been killed in Gaza. That number keeps growing every day. And it’s not just a statistic — these were mothers, fathers, little kids, teachers, doctors. Families, gone in seconds. But somehow, it feels like no one is really listening

Children Are Starving in 2025

It’s hard to believe, but it’s true — in 2025, children are literally dying of hunger. In Gaza. Over 1 million people are in emergency levels of food insecurity. Nearly half a million are near famine. Kids are eating leaves. Some haven’t had clean water in weeks. Many are too weak to cry.

UNICEF says 112 children a day are treated for malnutrition — but how many aren’t treated at all? How many just disappear, unnoticed, unfed, unloved? You can feel the hunger in every photo, every video. It’s not just about food — it’s about dignity, about the most basic human right being denied: the right to survive.

Hospitals Are Barely Hospitals Anymore

Imagine being wounded, and the doctor has no anesthesia. No electricity. No tools. Imagine giving birth in total darkness, while bombs fall outside. That’s what’s happening.

Gaza’s health system has collapsed. Doctors are performing surgeries using flashlights on their phones. Cancer patients can’t get treatment. Babies die because incubators don’t work without power. Even the doctors cry. And you know what? They’re not just crying from pain. They’re crying from helplessness.

No Food. No Water. No Way Out.

Only about 40% of Gaza’s water systems are still working. People are drinking sewage-contaminated water. Cholera and disease are spreading. Kids get sick — and there’s no medicine to treat them. And what’s worse: humanitarian aid is being blocked. Since March 2025, most trucks with food and medicine have been stopped. Even when they are allowed in, they get bombed. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed just waiting in line for food. Imagine that — dying while trying to feed your children.

Even Aid Workers Are Being Targeted

Over 224 humanitarian workers have been killed — including 179 from the UN. Killed while trying to bring food. Killed while caring for the injured. Killed while helping.

And yet, thousands still keep working. Locals, volunteers, staff from UNRWA — they’re exhausted, scared, but they keep going. Because if they stop… who’s left?

Why Is the World So Quiet?

That’s the part I still don’t understand. The UN says it’s catastrophic. Amnesty says it’s a crime. Human rights groups are screaming. But the bombs keep falling. The aid is blocked. And the children keep dying.

How can it be 2025 and we’re watching a population be starved and bombed — in real-time — and still call ourselves “civilized”?

Over 170 aid organizations asked for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to be dismantled — saying it’s making things worse, not better. Even UN experts said, and I quote: “No one is spared — not children, not doctors, not journalists.”

So What Now? What Can We Do?

Here’s the truth: We can’t bring back the dead. We can’t undo the horror. But we can do something.

• Demand unrestricted humanitarian aid access. Now.
• Call for protection of civilians and aid workers.
• Push for restoring water, electricity, medicine, schools.
• Support peace, not war. Justice, not silence.

Even if you’re far away, you’re not powerless.

• Donate to trusted organizations like UNICEF, WFP, or Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders).
• Talk about it. Share it. Don’t let the media wash it away.
• Call your representatives. Tell them you care. Tell them to act.

Break the silence. Your voice can matter more than you know.

Because This Is Not Just About Gaza.

This is about what kind of world we want to live in. One where we look away when children are bombed? When people beg for food and get shot instead?

Or one where we say, “No. Not in our name.”

Because at the end of the day, Gaza is not just a piece of land. It’s homes. It’s dreams. It’s laughter lost. It’s songs silenced. It’s mothers holding lifeless babies. It’s a human tragedy we can still stop — if we care enough.

Let’s stop pretending we don’t know. Let’s stop pretending we can’t help.

Because if we stay silent now, we become part of the crime
