A severe humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Gaza, where over 2 million people, including 1 million children, are facing acute hunger and starvation due to an Israeli-imposed blockade and restrictions on aid. Reports from aid organizations, journalists, and medical professionals describe rapidly rising malnutrition, especially among children, with deaths from starvation now being documented in hospitals. Despite international pressure and some Israeli claims of opening aid routes or airdropping supplies, the flow of food and essentials remains far below what is needed, with bureaucratic obstacles and violence further hampering distribution. The United Nations and World Health Organization have warned of a 'man-made' famine, accusing Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war, while Israel blames Hamas and the UN for aid failures. The crisis has prompted global outcry, but the situation on the ground continues to deteriorate, with desperate civilians risking their lives for a morsel of food.
