A severe hunger crisis is gripping Gaza, with the UN and aid agencies warning of mass starvation and a rapidly rising death toll, especially among children.
Reports from the ground describe people as 'walking corpses,' with one in five children malnourished and hospitals overwhelmed by cases of starvation and malnutrition. Despite thousands of aid trucks waiting at the border or inside Gaza, distribution is stalled amid accusations between Israel and the UN over responsibility for the blockade and aid delivery failures. Journalists and aid workers are also facing starvation, and international condemnation is growing as the humanitarian situation deteriorates.
Calls for an immediate ceasefire and unrestricted aid access are intensifying as the crisis deepens.
