HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AND INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE: "A CASE STUDY OF THE GAZA CONFLICT AFTERMATH ON OCTOBER 7, 2023"

Abstract

Following the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on October 7, 2023, the international community's response was insufficient in curbing the aggressive and arrogant actions of Israel. Despite the widespread loss of life and destruction in Gaza, the global community failed to take adequate measures to stop the atrocities done by Israel. Despite the desperate hunger, poverty, starvation, and injuries endured by millions of people, their pleas and cries failed to elicit a response from the global community. Unfortunately, those resolutions which have been passed by the UN General Assembly and Security Council  have demonstrated their ineffectiveness. The decisions rendered by the International Court of Justice are ineffectual documents. The world community and the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) were unable to offer any assistance or relief to the oppressed Muslim population in Gaza. Palestinians have been enduring several acts of extreme cruelty and unfortunate events for several months. They are becoming increasingly pessimistic. Nonetheless, the international community is either reluctant or unable to find a resolution to this problem. Unfortunately, there is a lack of bravery among humanity to put an end to the ruthless attacks that Israel is committing, even though these attacks have a tremendous effect on the international community. The spectacle of millions of individuals suffering through a circumstance that is similar to a blood bath is being witnessed by the entire world during this time. When would the Palestinian suffering stop? For the Palestinians, when will this Bloom Day draw to an end? Will the Palestinian problem have a long-lasting solution seen worldwide? Who has the answers to these questions?
