How to Prevent More Starvation Deaths in Gaza
Briefly

Starvation has led to the death of sixty-three people in the Gaza Strip in July, including over twenty children. International pressure mounts on Israel to end hostilities and increase humanitarian aid. An 'all-or-nothing' deal is proposed by American negotiators to resolve the situation, contingent on Hamas disarming and releasing hostages. Gaza's reliance on international aid was significant before the war, complicating the humanitarian crisis further. The resumption of aid distribution has been marked by confusion and inefficiency, with many civilians desperate for supplies.

When aid distribution resumed, it was primarily overseen by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a hazily organized nonprofit staffed by American contractors.
