On Gaza’s Humanitarian Crisis
Former UN Undersecretary-General Sigrid Kaag discusses the state of humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the role of the international community in supporting relief efforts.
Background Reading:
- Malnutrition has reached alarming levels in Gaza, with famine declared in the territory’s most populated region. As Israel continues to block aid from entering Gaza, this backgrounder explains how hunger is now reportedly affecting more than just civilians on the ground.
- As the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip continues, some countries have announced their intent to recognize the Palestinian territories as a sovereign nation, but full independence and UN membership remain elusive. This backgrounder unpacks the quest for Palestinian statehood.
Host:
Steven Kalin, Foreign Correspondent at the Wall Street Journal
Guest:
Sigrid Kaag, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process; Former United Nations Undersecretary-General
