Gaza is experiencing a severe and worsening hunger crisis, with reports of mass starvation, especially among children, as a result of ongoing conflict and restrictions on humanitarian aid.
The United Nations and aid organizations warn that nearly a third of Gaza's population is going days without food, and deaths from malnutrition are rising rapidly. Israel is under increasing international pressure to lift its blockade and allow more aid into the territory, but blames the UN for distribution failures, while the UN cites Israeli restrictions as the main obstacle. Medical professionals and journalists on the ground describe catastrophic conditions, with hospitals overwhelmed and supplies of life-saving food for children running out.
The situation is widely described as a man-made famine, with calls for urgent political action to prevent further loss of life.
