The Gaza Strip faces an escalating crisis, marked by hunger, violence, and widespread looting, as the UN warns of worsening anarchy. Public order has collapsed, with increasing cases of gender-based violence and rape in shelters. Palestinians are scavenging in landfills for food. The UN urges immediate ceasefire and aid, as over 44,000 people have died in Gaza, while Israel has lost over 1,200 civilians.
