As the Israeli conflict in Gaza nears its 23rd month, the humanitarian situation has deteriorated sharply, with severe food shortages and reports of famine emerging. United Nations-backed experts warn that starvation-related deaths are occurring, while Human Rights Watch (HRW) has accused Israeli forces of targeting Palestinians at US-backed aid distribution sites, labeling these attacks as war crimes and serious violations of international law. HRW has called on both the US and Israel to suspend the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) mechanism immediately. Despite at least six aerial food drops reported on August 1, some supplies landed in militarized, inaccessible areas. The crisis affects over two million people, with chronic disease management collapsing due to lack of medicine and food. Reports indicate that 52 Palestinians were killed in a single day while seeking food aid at these distribution points. Some accounts dispute the presence of famine, attributing food chain disruptions to Hamas, local warlords, and the UN's refusal to assist. The ongoing conflict continues to deepen the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, with aid centers becoming deadly traps for those in desperate need.
