These organisations have dozens of staff in the heart of the conflict zone, distributing food and water, providing medical aid, and offering psychological support, under appalling conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We spoke with our humanitarian expert, Laurens den Dulk, who collaborates closely with colleagues on the ground, about the harrowing situation and the moral duty to speak out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food Shortages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Over the past three months, virtually no food has entered Gaza,\u2019 says Den Dulk. \u2018There were still some reserves in warehouses, which were distributed among aid organisations. But as the scarcity worsened, rations had to be halved or were distributed less frequently. It has become a matter of survival.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, a new aid initiative\u2014the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, established by Israel and the US\u2014has begun allowing small numbers of trucks into the area. \u2018But the volume is far too low,&#8217; Den Dulk states. &#8216;What\u2019s more, it\u2019s completely unclear what exactly is coming in, who is distributing it, and under what conditions. This violates international humanitarian law, which dictates that emergency aid must be provided unconditionally and independently.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CLWR-north--1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"children standing in a circle listening to a woman against the backdrop of blue tents\" class=\"wp-image-9246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CLWR-north--1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CLWR-north--300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CLWR-north--768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CLWR-north--1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CLWR-north--59x44.jpeg 59w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CLWR-north-.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A mine awareness raising session for children organised by one of Cordaid&#8217;s partners in a refugee camp in northern Gaza. Photograph: DCA\/NCA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Climate of Fear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Den Dulk, a fearful atmosphere hangs over local partner organisations in the region. \u2018There is a very real concern that Gaza might soon cease to exist altogether. That the entire population will be driven out. That means we would be witnessing an ethnic cleansing of two million people. There are rumours that Egypt is preparing to take in hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the Sinai Desert. Other reports suggest deportations to Saudi Arabia or Jordan. But the idea that Gaza could vanish is so grotesque that people can hardly imagine how one would even begin to prepare for it.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Silent Majority<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As this unfolds before the world\u2019s eyes, Den Dulk is struck by the relative silence in the Netherlands. \u2018Yes, there have been demonstrations, and some organisations have spoken out. But there\u2019s still a silent majority. People are afraid to take sides, fearing they will be drawn into a political debate. But this shouldn\u2019t be about politics\u2014it should be about humanity.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even aid organisations are grappling with this issue. Nevertheless, Den Dulk urges everyone to speak up. \u2018It\u2019s not enough to sympathise in silence. Speak out! Not necessarily in support of one side or against another, but against what is happening here: the deliberate starvation of a population, the shooting of crowds trying to reach aid convoys, the wilful denial of human suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2024-Humanitarian-Assistance-West-Bank-Ramallah-Photo-by-Mickael-Franci-for-Cordaid-004-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2024-Humanitarian-Assistance-West-Bank-Ramallah-Photo-by-Mickael-Franci-for-Cordaid-004-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2024-Humanitarian-Assistance-West-Bank-Ramallah-Photo-by-Mickael-Franci-for-Cordaid-004-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2024-Humanitarian-Assistance-West-Bank-Ramallah-Photo-by-Mickael-Franci-for-Cordaid-004-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2024-Humanitarian-Assistance-West-Bank-Ramallah-Photo-by-Mickael-Franci-for-Cordaid-004-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2024-Humanitarian-Assistance-West-Bank-Ramallah-Photo-by-Mickael-Franci-for-Cordaid-004-546x363.jpg 546w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2024-Humanitarian-Assistance-West-Bank-Ramallah-Photo-by-Mickael-Franci-for-Cordaid-004-373x248.jpg 373w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2024-Humanitarian-Assistance-West-Bank-Ramallah-Photo-by-Mickael-Franci-for-Cordaid-004-280x186.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2024-Humanitarian-Assistance-West-Bank-Ramallah-Photo-by-Mickael-Franci-for-Cordaid-004-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2024-Humanitarian-Assistance-West-Bank-Ramallah-Photo-by-Mickael-Franci-for-Cordaid-004-66x44.jpg 66w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2024-Humanitarian-Assistance-West-Bank-Ramallah-Photo-by-Mickael-Franci-for-Cordaid-004.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Laurens Den Dulk (left) during a meeting with Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the patriarch of the Roman Catholic Church in Jerusalem.
