Tá breis agus 200,000 duine i mbéal an bháis leis an ngorta in Gaza, de réir na Náisiúin Aontaithe.

The UN’s World Food Program has said: “Famine is coming to the north of Gaza within the next six weeks and children are already dying of hunger.”

Tá an eagraíocht ag iarraidh go mbunófaí bealaí sábháilte in Gaza a ligfí d’eagraíochtaí cabhair dhaonnúil agus bia a thabhairt isteach.

Ó thosaigh an chogaíocht seo i mí Dheireadh Fómhair, maraíodh na mílte duine.

The political implications are being felt around the world.

  • An féidir sos cogaidh?
  • Is Joe Biden’s re-election bid now in trouble?
  • Agus an bhfuil aon dóchas ann do mhuintir Gaza?
