Israeli forces kill 21 aid seekers as Gaza starvation death toll rises
Briefly

Israeli attacks in Gaza have led to at least 39 deaths in 24 hours, including individuals seeking humanitarian aid and those who starved. The total count of malnutrition-related deaths has reached 212, predominantly affecting children. The humanitarian situation has worsened due to severe restrictions on aid supplies, with calls from the World Food Programme for an increase in aid trucks to alleviate the crisis. Many trucks have been turned back, and local officials cite ongoing famine as a significant danger for vulnerable populations in the region.
