UN: Two Million in Gaza Face Severe Hunger

Gaza is experiencing a severe hunger crisis, with the UN reporting one in five children in Gaza City is malnourished and over 100 people, mostly children, have died from hunger. The World Health Organization describes the situation as 'man-made mass starvation,' and hospitals are overwhelmed with severely malnourished children. Aid workers and journalists are also struggling to find food amid soaring prices and continued restrictions. Although Israel has partially lifted its blockade, food supplies remain critically low, and Israel maintains there is no famine, blaming Hamas for aid distribution failures. Over two million people in Gaza are now food insecure. Humanitarian organizations are urgently calling for unrestricted aid access to prevent further loss of life.
