A | An already precarious situation regarding food and water supplies for the residents of Gaza has exacerbated into a humanitarian crisis due to the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel, experts told ABC News.The horrors civilians are facing as a result of fighting between Hamas, a terrorist organization that is based in Gaza, and Israel extend far beyond the immediate bloodshed.Days after Hamas launched a surprise terrorist attack on Israel, experts on war and food insecurity are concerned that the fighting will lead to widespread suffering for civilians, especially those living in the Gaza Strip, one of the most densely populated regions in the world.As the fighting continues and borders remain closed, residents in Gaza are expected to run out of food, potable water and essential supplies in a matter of weeks, Shada Moghraby, spokesperson for the World Food Programme's New York office, told ABC News.This is why food and water will be so scarce in the region going forward, according to the experts:

Gaza was facing a food security, water crisis before the most recent conflict began

There was already a humanitarian crisis brewing in the Gaza Strip before the fighting commenced.With about 2.4 million people packed into just 140 square miles, residents living in the Gaza Strip, wedged between Israel, Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea, were experiencing threats to their food and water supply even before Hamas' surprise terrorist attack on Israel led to war.Thousands of years of conflict in the region has also degraded the land, leaving "reverberating environmental effects" and making it nearly impossible for Gaza to produce its own food supply, Doug Weir, research and policy director of The Conflict and Environment Observatory, told ABC News. The recurring periods of violence have led to high levels of disruption to infrastructure, particularly water and sanitation, as well as power plants, Weir said."You have this highly degraded strip of land trying to sustain a very high, very dense population," he said. "That's kind of the situation that population has been living in, to this day."There is no surface water -- lakes or rivers -- to draw from in the region, David Gampe, a geographer and climate scientist at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, Germany, told ABC News. The only resource to extract water from is the groundwater, Gampe said.Therefore, the aquifer supplying water to the territory is over-extracted. Only about 4% of the water extracted from the aquifer is actually potable, Weir said.The lack of an adequate supply of clean water has been the focus of the argument on the actual habitability of Gaza for years, Weir said. Nearly all of the drinking water in the territory is bottled, Gampe said.About 80% of the population in Gaza was in need of humanitarian aid before the bombings began days ago, Samer Abdeljaber, regional director for the World Food Programme, told ABC News."The situation was already dire. and now these escalations make things really, very difficult on those people who are already suffering from food insecurity," Moghraby said.The economic consequences of the constant conflict have also taken a toll on the region, making it difficult for it to invest in advancements in infrastructure, Moghraby said.

Borders are now even more restricted

The vast majority of the food supply is "highly dependent" on imports, Weir said. This is making the blockade around the territory even more injurious for the people stuck inside.Earlier this week, Israel stopped entry of food, water, fuel and medicine into Gaza. The sole remaining access from Egypt was shut down on Tuesday.There is barely any power in Gaza, as its sole power plant has run out of fuel as a result of the blockade, the Gaza Ministry of Energy said on Wednesday.As soon as the power is switched off, infrastructure -- including water treatment and transit -- can't work effectively, Weir said.In 2020, the U.N. Environment Programme released a status report for Gaza and the West Bank, defining the consequences of the intricate political process necessary to gain access to the region.Within the borders, humanitarian aid groups are running out of food items, as are markets, Abdeljaber said, adding that the unfolding situation is "devastating at the moment."The World Food Programme is seeking a humanitarian corridor to allow supplies into Gaza, Moghraby said."We're doing everything we can to make sure that we are reaching the people who seek shelter in the U.N. designated shelters," he said.

Bombings in Gaza are making the situation even more dire

The damage to the infrastructure inside Gaza is impeding the food production and distribution networks, Moghraby said.Bakeries in Gaza have told the WFP that they are running out of fuel, electricity and wheat flour and will soon be unable to provide the organization with bread, Abdeljaber said.But the supplies of food and water are running out, and fast.There are limited stocks of food items inside Gaza, which makes the approval of a humanitarian corridor into the territory even more essential.Those who manage to get food are having to leave their homes and seek shelter from the assaults from the Israeli Defense Forces, a "very risky" endeavor, Abdeljaber said.WFP is also having difficulties in coordinating its movements to make sure that the frontline humanitarian workers remain safe. Nearly a dozen colleagues have lost their lives, Abdeljaber said.Right after the bombing in Gaza began, the World Food Programme provided 73,000 people with ready-to-eat canned food, as well as fresh bread from bakeries within Gaza, Abdeljaber said. The next day, that number jumped to 175,000 people, and on Thursday, the WFP is expected to provide meals to up to 205,000 people, Abdeljaber said.The organization is planning to scale its response to provide more than 800,000 people in Gaza and the West Bank with food, water and essential supplies like cash, Moghraby said.The WFP has experienced setbacks in funding in the past year, Moghraby said.In June, the organization was forced to suspend about 150,000 residents of Gaza from assistance due to lack of funding, Abdeljaber said. The funding typically comes from governments and the private sector, Moghraby said. However, the organization does not work with the governments represented by the de facto authorities on the ground.Before the crisis began, WFP was in need of about $32 million in additional funding to meet its goal. Now, the organization is seeking an additional $17 million just to be able to source the required amount of food for the next four weeks, Abdeljaber said.

Climate change is also threatening the region

Food insecurity and water supply issues are expected to persist in the long term, and not just because of the conflict.Climate change is intensifying existing environmental problems in the region, including increased water stress, a study published by the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health last year found.The Mediterranean climate leads to wet winters and dry summers, in which there is virtually no precipitation over the hottest months of the year, said Gampe, one of the authors of the 2022 study.A rise in temperature is going to exacerbate the water supply in the region by leading to increased evaporation within the aquifer.With up to 25% less precipitation in the winter months, when the water recharge is supposed to occur, the aquifer could soon run dry of potable water, the research shows."The groundwater exploitation is already exceeding the recharge," he said.Inadequate water supplies often have cascading consequences, including indirect health effects on populations, such as an uptick in diarrhea cases in young children, Gampe said."That will severely affect health and cause a massive problem in the region," he said.。另一年的CES结束了，但关于它的讨论远未结束。作为世界上最大的技术消费展览会，每年这里都有大批的人。今年，参加CES的人数已超过18万人。作为CES的老司机，最好的证明是展会前的免费停车场在展会当天涨到了40美元。

B | 但今年，很多人觉得它“不如以前好”。随着全球科技产业“寒冬”的到来，仍有4000多家厂商参展，但无论是最新的产品还是未来可能出现的技术，都没有什么值得大惊小怪的。难怪有些人对他们过去所展示的产品或他们在新闻中听到的内容感到“厌烦”。但这是真的吗？除了赌博和看电视之外，第52届会议上举行的CES是否真的没有反映出科学技术的活力？经过三天的购物和深入的采访，我们看到的不仅仅是无聊，而是一些隐藏在无聊背后的东西。无论是平静的自动驾驶技术，人工智能语音助理，以及越来越多的5G终端，我们在CES上仍然有很多收获和经验。让我们听听我们的看法。少了花招，更务实一段作者：橡胶，极客主编，今年第四次参加CES，CES确实缺乏一些新的概念和花招产品，我看了一场更“务实”的消费电子展。在过去的两年里，英伟达的展前会已经成为CES重要的“开场秀”。黄仁勋将通过充满激情的演讲来展示英伟达在人工智能领域的雄心壮志。然而，今年，Nvidia“忽略”了自动驾驶仪和人工智能的内容，整个活动围绕着即将推出的新图形卡产品展开。这种务实的内容已成为CES 2019年的主题演讲。消费电子展往往被视为科技领域的风向标，“前瞻性”成为参展商衡量产品和技术的重要指标。在繁荣的背后，CES每年都会看到许多高端和低端产品，它们引人注目，足以出现，但很快就消失了。今年消费电子展最重要的变化之一是，制造商们将更多的量产产品摆上台面，并提供更多的现场体验产品。LG的卷发电视是今年CES的明星，但LG强调它不是概念产品。它将于今年下半年正式推出。索尼、三星和其他制造商已经在CES上展示了8K电视，这似乎离我们很远，但制造商愿意提供一个详细的销售时间表…今年的CES也能找到类似的例子。对于消费者来说，很高兴知道他们最喜欢的产品已经或将要批量生产，但整个展览的惊喜肯定会减少。似乎在“冬天”到来之前多卖点东西更重要。今年CES的实用主义也反映在人们对隐私和安全的关注上。

C | 在过去的一年里，许多互联网公司在隐私问题上“颠覆”，苹果甚至在消费电子展（CES）的主会场前投放了一则有意义的广告。当网络（控制应用）和人工智能语音助理成为越来越多的硬件产品的基础设备时，消费者会在新的时期后迅速关注产品的安全性。当今年CES与一些智能家居制造商进行沟通时，他们会在介绍产品参数后强调对隐私的关注。有趣的是，人们在互联网上的不安全感也扩展到了物质世界。今年，有更多的安全产品，如CES智能门锁/门铃。我相信大多数来自中国的编辑和记者在过去的一年里参加CES时都有一种紧张的感觉，或者是“害怕错过”。毕竟，经过十几个小时的长途飞行，每个人都想从CES中获取尽可能多的信息。

D | 事实上，关于消费电子产品的国内报道经常可以看到标题为“暴力”和“看穿”的文章，这在很大程度上也是在这种心态下产生的。

E | 今年我没有寻找新的概念，而是更喜欢CES展览本身，能够更平静地体验一些产品，这样我个人就可以接受这种变化。从应用程序控制到语音控制：谁是英雄，是极客选择的主笔，第二次参加CES，当人工智能真正进入每个人的生活，口号和宣传不再那么猖獗。由于潮湿事物的寂静，许多人今年似乎对CES感到厌烦，但在我看来，他们找到了一些隐藏的乐趣。例如，语音交互在科技大学迅飞的尝试中，使得看似怪异的墨水屏幕电子书成为一种支持记录和实时转录的办公工具。然后，例如，看似普通的模块化机器人玩具，结合语音交互，可以直接用一两句话控制其变形。

F | 这些事情过去不容易实现，但现在变得越来越特别了。一件事是今年，谷歌和亚马逊在消费电子展上的推广工作都比过去多。但是语音助手不再简单地以智能扬声器的形式显示，而是通过与生活相关的产品更准确地显示出来。例如，亚马逊收购智能门铃，更多地支持谷歌助手的电视机，甚至只要与物联网相关的产品可以同时支持这两个语音助手。其中一个原因是，2018年智能演讲者的总体增长是相关的。

G | 据亚马逊官员此前向媒体透露的数据，亚马逊的Alexa语音助手迄今已安装在一亿多台设备上。另一方面，谷歌表示，包括智能手机、智能手表和智能电视在内的所有类型的谷歌辅助设备都已售出10亿台。另一方面，通过天猫精灵、小艾同学等智能演讲者的洗礼，中国也完成了智能家居的快速升级，在一定程度上完成了家庭智能中心的转型。

H | 过去，通过手机连接手机和控制交换机的智能产品已经成为第一个通过手机连接的产品，不再需要再次使用手机。

I | 即使某些连接不再需要移动电话，它们也可以通过智能扬声器的语音控制进行连接。家庭控制中心的改造已经到了这个阶段，标志着智能家居场景的建设进入了一个新的阶段。

J | 在下一个5G时代，保持设备在线和连接将成为雄心勃勃的制造商追求的最终目标，也许这也是一只聪明的手。飞机起飞后的时间还有另一个预期的变化。大型和完整的CES：没有行业变化，每个人都想说同样的话：希格林，极客的视频产品经理，很难想象我第一次参加CES。作为一名在数码圈工作了近六年的“老”编辑，这是第一次参加CES展览，但正是因为在观看了MWC、IFA和Computex之后，你会发现你在追求大而完整。消费电子产品对这个行业没有什么意义。CES本身在成立之初没有一个行业定义。作为一个自1967年以来出现的展览，当时对电子的定义是非常单一的。

K | 但近年来，各行业的变化使人们更加关注消费电子产品的存在。例如，2016年，国内外汽车厂商疯狂涌入CES会场的自驾大爆发，无论是汽车厂商还是汽车驾驶技术供应商都在展示自己的解决方案，我们应该知道，以前的汽车厂商和CES技术没有关系。.与此同时，AR/VR行业仍处于鼎盛时期。松下基于AR的CES化妆镜也吸引了人们的注意。也许这两件事让我印象最深刻的是消费电子展在过去两年。正是这两件事让我对消费电子产品产生了一些“误解”。

L | 当CES 2019真的来到展会，谷歌，三星，索尼和尼康，这些大工厂无疑是辉煌的。

M | LVCC展馆的门至少要花两个小时才能与谷歌互动游戏、尼康无处不在的手提包以及三星“用钱建造”的展台保持一致。CES 2019仍处于聚光灯下。根据CES官方数据，展会总面积超过26万平方米，吸引了4500多家参展商。但冷静点，CES 2019真的有那么多产品引领行业变革吗？在CES公布前的活动中，我们没有看到太多令人惊讶的酷产品。在许多初创企业中，也有两三种值得注意的产品被“移交”。这些产品可能只是有意义的、创新的或对行业影响很小。
