A severe hunger crisis is gripping Gaza, with doctors and aid organizations warning of mass starvation and a rapidly rising death toll, especially among children.
Over 100 humanitarian groups have sounded the alarm, blaming Israel's blockade and restrictions on aid for the worsening situation, while the UN and international leaders call for an immediate ceasefire and unrestricted aid flow. Hospitals are overwhelmed, medical staff are themselves malnourished, and food markets are empty, leading to desperate conditions for civilians. Disputes over responsibility for aid distribution have further hampered relief efforts, leaving hundreds of trucks stalled and essential supplies undelivered.
The crisis has drawn global condemnation and urgent calls for action to prevent a full-scale famine.
