Gaza Faces Catastrophic Starvation as Aid Blockade Pushes Civilians and Doctors to the Brink

A severe hunger crisis is gripping Gaza, with over 100 humanitarian organizations warning of mass starvation due to Israel's ongoing blockade and military operations. Hospitals are overwhelmed, with doctors and aid workers themselves succumbing to hunger and exhaustion as they struggle to care for malnourished and injured civilians, including many children. Reports indicate a sharp rise in deaths from starvation and malnutrition, with children dying daily and aid workers risking their lives to access food. Despite some aid trucks entering Gaza, distribution is stalled, and international agencies are calling for an immediate end to the blockade and safe passage for humanitarian relief. The crisis has drawn widespread condemnation from global leaders and organizations, who describe the situation as a man-made famine and a humanitarian catastrophe.
