Joyce Masuya, the acting head of the United Nations humanitarian affairs agency, has urgently addressed the countries and institutions that claim human rights and human values . She asks, ‘Where has your humanity gone now on the issue of Gaza?’ The citizens of Gaza are in dire need. They are hungry, thirsty, sick, and helpless. The situation is so critical that we can barely plan for more than 24 hours of food and other relief supplies. The urgency of the situation in Gaza cannot be overstated.
The Israeli atrocities on Palestinians have reached an unprecedented scale. It has been ten months since the Israeli aggression, during which more than 40 thousand Palestinians have been martyred. The number of injured is twice that, while the number of homeless is in the millions. This scale of violence is shocking and should not be tolerated. Palestinian children, women, the elderly, and the sick are not safe in their homes, shelters, or even hospitals and schools. Meanwhile, Israel is adamant that it is not ready to abide by the UN ceasefire resolutions. In this brutality and barbarism, countries like America stand with Israel. What has been said by the head of OCHA is a slap in the face of institutions and forces that do not play a role in Israeli atrocities.
Joyce Masuya, the acting head of the organization, has no role in UNO’s decision-making, but on her behalf, the UN has also been shown a mirror and reminded of its responsibility, and the conscience of the world powers has also been shaken. Meanwhile, EU foreign policy chief Joseph Borrell expresses his deep disappointment at the lack of sufficient assistance to the people of Gaza. In an interview with an Israeli newspaper, he says that we did not respond well to Gaza. Borel also expresses his helplessness in this regard. His disappointment should serve as a wake-up call for more effective assistance.

As far as reactions in the form of mere statements are concerned, severe reactions have also been coming from Muslim countries. Rhetoric has been one over the other. If the problems were to be solved by statements, when would the issues of Palestine and Kashmir have been solved? Israel can only be defeated by practical measures. The first role of this is in Muslim countries. A lesson can be taught to Israel only by mobilizing OIC, the representative organization of Muslim countries. Otherwise, the human tragedy that has already taken its worst form will continue to become more horrific. Are the world powers, especially the OIC, waiting for the last Palestinian to become a victim of Israeli brutality and brutality?
