# With a ceasefire now in place, people in Gaza are facing the desperate reality of their plight after two years of relentless Israeli bombardments. The Disasters Emergency Committee has now renewed its appeal for donations to help struggling families. Desperately needed humanitarian aid is expected to increase, with trucks of supplies standing ready at the borders with lifesaving food, water, medicine and essential supplies. The organisation said more than two-million people are facing extreme food insecurity. The UN-backed global hunger monitor confirmed famine in Gaza City and surroundings in August.
