At least 29 children and elderly people have died in the Gaza Strip from starvation-related causes, as reports indicate the humanitarian aid allowed into the region is not sufficient to meet the needs of thousands at risk. The UN has warned that 14,000 babies may die without urgent food aid. The situation remains critical as only a limited number of aid trucks, mainly carrying flour, have been allowed into Gaza, despite ongoing military attacks that have resulted in numerous casualties.
"Limited aid has begun entering Gaza, but humanitarian officials warn that what is allowed is insufficient for the population, facing dire hunger and deprivation."
"The statements from UN officials regarding potential deaths from starvation reflect the severity of the crisis, potentially underestimating the true impact on the civilian population."
