2 Million Sad Stories in Gaza

The UN Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Mohannad Hadi, spoke to Al Jazeera about Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, calling it "2 Million Sad Stories." He stressed the urgent need for a permanent ceasefire, warning, "We have the formula, the recipe of a disaster here." Hadi highlighted the extreme suffering of women and children, stating, "Women talk about bathrooms, having access to toilets... going to the bathroom is an agony." He expressed deep concern over the potential resumption of Israeli military activities, saying, "I can't imagine how a resumption of military activities could be or what it means for the people."

“I don’t even want to imagine the scenario where the ceasefire talks in Doha fail. As a humanitarian, I can’t just imagine that we will be faced with this situation.” Hadi added.

Thousands of Syrians continue to flee to Lebanon, escaping the aftermath of over 14 years of civil war. The latest refugees, mainly from the Alawite minority, say they are being targeted and fear revealing their identities. They describe feeling terrorised under the new power balance in Syria, which shifted away from the Assad regime. Despite assurances of investigations into recent violence, many displaced people feel they have no future in Syria under the new authorities. Some have already lost loved ones and homes to the conflict. The situation in the coastal regions has worsened, undermining efforts for a peaceful transition. While calls for unity are made, some communities feel excluded from the new Syria.
