Philippe Lazzarini demands Israel step up security, while Gaza’s 1.9 million residents face a looming famine this rainy winter. With 80% relying on international help, the blockade’s tightening grip has economists weeping and the ICC issuing warrants over alleged war crimes. Time’s ticking for a ceasefire before hunger throws its own dark party.
