Gaza is experiencing a severe, man-made hunger crisis, with the World Health Organization and multiple aid agencies warning of mass starvation caused by Israel's ongoing blockade.
Reports indicate that children, mothers, and the most vulnerable are dying from malnutrition at an accelerating rate, with over a million children at acute risk. Despite international calls for a ceasefire and increased aid, hundreds of aid trucks remain undelivered due to logistical and political disputes between Israel, the UN, and other actors.
