Gaza Starvation Crisis: A Generation on the Brink

A humanitarian catastrophe is deepening in Gaza, where UN-backed experts have confirmed a "worst-case scenario" of famine. Since October 2023, at least 151 Palestinians, including 83 children, have died from starvation. The situation is escalating, with 63 deaths recorded in July alone.

Children are bearing the brunt of this crisis. In the first two weeks of July, over 20,000 children under five were treated for malnutrition, and a staggering one in ten children is now acutely malnourished.

The World Food Programme warns that 470,000 people are facing catastrophic hunger. Among the most vulnerable are 90,000 women and children who urgently need nutrition treatment.

This is not just a food shortage; it's a starvation crisis that is rapidly worsening, with devastating consequences for the people of Gaza.
