A severe hunger crisis is gripping Gaza, with the UN and multiple aid agencies warning of mass starvation and a rapidly rising death toll, especially among children.
Reports describe people as 'walking corpses,' with one in five children in Gaza City 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 delivery failures. Journalists and aid workers are also facing starvation, and international condemnation is mounting as calls for a ceasefire and unimpeded humanitarian access intensify.
The crisis is described as a 'man-made famine,' with experts and officials warning that the situation is deteriorating into a historic humanitarian disaster.
