What's happening in Gaza is not just a crisis, it is the destruction of an entire society.
For more than two years, Israel's military campaign has created a catastrophic humanitarian emergency. Since October 2023, at least 73,910 people have been killed, and more than 174,914 have been injured, the vast majority civilians, including tens of thousands of women and children. Many more deaths continue to be recorded as bodies are recovered and violence persists. Famine-level conditions are spreading, with large numbers of children suffering from acute malnutrition and urgently needing food, clean water, and medical care. Famine was officially confirmed by the UN in August 2025 — the first time in the history of the Middle East region. Access to essential supplies continues to be severely restricted. Gaza's health system has been systematically devastated: all 38 hospitals and 157 clinics have been targeted, with only 16 hospitals remaining partially functional, and nearly 90% of all water and sanitation infrastructure damaged or destroyed.
Despite global protests demanding a ceasefire, Western governments, including the UK, continue to provide weapons and political support to Israel, enabling this devastation to continue.
Humanitarian aid remains blocked or constrained, but donations to trusted medical and relief organisations are a vital lifeline. In Gaza, where people are being denied their basic rights and means to survive, every act of solidarity matters.
Big Fear
Big Fear is a London-based band known for their dystopian alt-pop sound. Formed by Alice Edwards, Jack Wilkinson, and Ben Crone, the band's music explores themes of fear and apathy, often with a synth-throbbing and operatic style. Edwards, who is asexual and nonbinary, has been a powerful voice in the music scene, addressing issues that have been underrepresented in media and culture. Big Fear's debut EP, "Career Day," achieved 300k Spotify streams and earned plays on BBC 6 Music and Radio X, showcasing their growing popularity and impact.
