Israel Has Starved at Least 83 Children to Death in Gaza, Health Officials Say
Briefly

A humanitarian crisis in Gaza, exacerbated by systemic starvation tactics, has reached a critical stage. Health officials report at least 122 starvation-related deaths, predominantly affecting children, with 83 of these deaths occurring recently. The situation has prompted urgent warnings from experts worrying about impending mass fatalities if intervention does not occur. Disturbing images of severely malnourished children have emerged, underscoring the desperate need for aid and intervention as the conditions continue to deteriorate rapidly.
"Children tell their parents they want to go to heaven, because at least heaven has food," one aid worker said. A Palestinian girl suffers from malnutrition while receiving treatment at the Patient Friends Association Hospital in Gaza City, on July 22, 2025. This suffering showcases the grave humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza, where malnutrition levels are alarmingly high due to ongoing violence and siege conditions.
Experts warn that humanitarian conditions in Gaza have surpassed a 'tipping point' and will soon result in mass death if the situation is not addressed. Israel's 'precisely designed mass starvation' campaign has resulted in severe health crises, and health officials have recorded at least 122 starvation deaths, including 83 children, during the conflict.
