Gaza is facing a catastrophic famine as military actions disrupt food access, leading to rising deaths from hunger. The Israeli military has restricted aid shipments, enforcing a dangerous distribution system. As of late July, the United Nations indicated that the worst-case famine scenario is unfolding, with evidence showing significant increases in hunger-related fatalities, including substantial numbers of children affected by acute malnutrition. Reports indicate severe impacts on health as starvation begins to deteriorate bodily functions, marking a dire humanitarian crisis with minimal aid allowed into the region.
Dr. James Smith, an emergency doctor who has volunteered twice in Gaza, described starvation as a method of killing, emphasizing the barbarism of imposed hunger.
The United Nations' Integrated Food Security Phase Classification issued a dire warning of famine in Gaza, stating that hunger-related deaths are on the rise.
