The humanitarian situation in Gaza has deteriorated sharply, with a catastrophic famine affecting the region. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) reported that children in Gaza are dying due to starvation and ongoing bombardment, with entire families being wiped out and a generation at risk of extinction. The World Food Programme (WFP) indicated that over one-third of Gaza’s population has been without food for several days, and approximately 500,000 people are on the brink of starvation. The crisis has been described as a result of both hunger and malnutrition exacerbated by the conflict. Calls have been made for immediate action to translate statements of concern into tangible relief efforts to address the escalating famine and prevent further loss of life in Gaza.
