Gaza Faces Catastrophic Starvation as Blockade Drives Humanitarian Crisis

Gaza is experiencing a severe, man-made hunger crisis, with the World Health Organization and aid groups warning of mass starvation caused by Israel's ongoing blockade. Hospitals and health officials report a surge in deaths from malnutrition, especially among children and vulnerable populations, as food markets are empty and disease spreads. Despite international calls for a ceasefire and increased aid, political disputes and logistical barriers continue to prevent sufficient humanitarian relief from reaching those in need. The crisis has reached a tipping point, with over 120 reported starvation deaths and more than a million children at acute risk. Aid agencies and medical professionals describe the situation as catastrophic, urging immediate action to prevent further loss of life.
