The United Nations and other international aid organizations decried the devastating toll of six months of the Israeli war in Gaza.

World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a post on X that October 7 "does not justify the horrific ongoing bombardment, siege and health system demolition by Israel in Gaza, killing, injuring and starving hundreds of thousands of civilians, including aid workers."

"The deaths and grievous injuries of thousands of children in Gaza will remain a stain on all of humanity. This assault on present and future generations must end," he added. 

"The denial of basic needs -- food, fuel, sanitation, shelter, security, and healthcare -- is inhumane and intolerable," Ghebreyesus stressed on X. 

The head of the UN agency supporting Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, also said on X that the "hellhole in Gaza is deepening by the day", according to Al Mayadeen.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) emphasized "Six months is an awful milestone," warning that "humanity has been all but abandoned" in the severity of the war on Gaza. 

IFRC Secretary-General Jagan Chapagain labeled the situation as "beyond catastrophic" and warned that "millions of lives are at risk of hunger."
