Doctors from the U.S., U.K., and France have warned at the United Nations that Gaza is facing a critical humanitarian crisis, with a potential “apocalyptic” situation if Israel invades Rafah. The doctors described dire conditions in Gaza due to ongoing conflict, with thousands killed and injured. They urged global leaders to act urgently to prevent further catastrophe and emphasized the need for a ceasefire. Israeli officials are considering alternative approaches, including evacuations to “humanitarian islands,” despite concerns from doctors that there is no safe place in Gaza amidst the conflict. Humanitarian organizations are discussing the situation with U.S. officials while stressing the urgent need for assistance to address the healthcare emergency in Gaza.
