High confidence (85%)
Risk direction: escalatory · Impact: CRITICAL
Executive summary
Over seven days, sustained IDF and Hezbollah operations will likely deepen humanitarian needs in Gaza and southern Lebanon, characterized by further healthcare system degradation, shortages of medical supplies, and increased numbers of wounded and displaced. Attacks on medics and medical infrastructure will hamper response capacity. International pressure for humanitarian access may increase, but large-scale relief improvements are unlikely without a political breakthrough.
