Gaza is experiencing a severe and worsening hunger crisis, with hospitals overwhelmed by malnourished patients and medical staff themselves growing too weak to provide care.
Aid groups and the World Health Organization warn of 'mass starvation' due to Israel's blockade and restrictions on food shipments, with dozens of children and adults dying from starvation and malnutrition each day. Despite reports of hundreds of aid trucks waiting inside Gaza, distribution is stalled amid accusations between Israel and the UN over responsibility. International condemnation is mounting, with protests and calls for an immediate ceasefire and urgent humanitarian intervention.
The crisis is described as 'man-made' and a 'nightmare of historic proportions,' with experts warning that many children may never recover from the effects of prolonged hunger.
