Amid all the attempts to broker a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas and the furor over the ongoing demonstrations at U.S. college campuses, the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the Gaza Strip remains dire. More than 75 percent of Gaza’s population, or 1.7 million people, is displaced. A majority of all buildings are destroyed. Clean water is scarce. More than a million Palestinians in Gaza face what the World Food Program is calling “catastrophic levels of hunger.” If that develops into a famine, it would dramatically increase the numbers of the dead from the current 34,000.
