Interview with Dr. Layla Nasser, Humanitarian Affairs Expert, on the Ongoing Conflict in Gaza
Time.news Editor (TNE): Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Nasser. The situation in Gaza has increasingly become dire, with reports indicating that the conflict has reached 403 consecutive days. Can you provide an overview of the current escalation, specifically regarding the recent attacks reported in Beit Lahia and Nuseirat?
Dr. Layla Nasser (DLN): Thank you for having me. The recent escalation in Gaza is tragic and alarming. The reports indicate that airstrikes and artillery bombardments have claimed numerous lives, including many civilians and children. For instance, in just one day alone, we saw at least 63 individuals reported as martyrs, which underscores the devastating impact on the population. The destruction of residential areas, such as homes in Beit Lahia, has left communities shattered, and the humanitarian implications are severe.
TNE: Given the scale of casualties, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reports around 43,665 martyrs and over 103,000 wounded since the conflict escalated on October 7, 2023. What are the implications of these numbers for humanitarian efforts in the region?
DLN: These tragic numbers indicate a humanitarian crisis that is beyond critical. With many victims still trapped under rubble, rescue efforts are severely hampered, primarily due to ongoing hostilities and the lack of proper medical facilities. Humanitarian organizations are struggling to provide essential aid, including medical assistance and shelter for the displaced. The situation demands immediate international attention and support to facilitate humanitarian access and protect civilians.
TNE: What advice would you give to our readers who are looking to understand more about the unfolding situation and possibly lend their support?
DLN: First and foremost, staying informed through credible news sources is crucial. Readers should seek out organizations that are actively involved in humanitarian assistance in Gaza and consider supporting their efforts. Sharing accurate information on social media can also help raise awareness about the situation. Additionally, engaging with initiatives that advocate for peace and conflict resolution can contribute to broader changes. Every little effort counts when it comes to humanitarian relief.
TNE: As an expert, how do you see the longer-term implications of the ongoing violence in Gaza on regional stability?
DLN: The continued violence in Gaza threatens not only the immediate safety of its residents but also the broader stability of the region. High civilian casualties can sow deep resentments and lead to cycles of violence that are hard to break. There will also be long-term impacts on the economy, infrastructure, and mental health of the populace, which might take generations to heal. It’s essential for international actors to engage in diplomacy and push for sustainable solutions that prioritize civilian safety and uphold human rights.
TNE: what can the global community do to influence change regarding the ongoing crisis in Gaza?
DLN: The global community must intensify its calls for ceasefires and peaceful negotiations. This involves urging governments to hold all parties accountable for violations of international humanitarian law. Additionally, providing humanitarian assistance, advocating for the rights of displaced individuals, and promoting dialogue among all stakeholders can create pathways to peace. Engaging in active diplomacy and putting pressure on those who can mediate the situation is crucial in today’s turbulent climate.
