A mass starvation crisis is unfolding in Gaza, with a large number of the population suffering from hunger. Reports indicate that at least 111 people, including 80 children, have died from starvation in recent days. Aid organizations, including over 100 agencies, are calling on Israel to lift its blockade to allow the distribution of humanitarian aid. Inside and outside Gaza, vast amounts of food and medical supplies remain inaccessible due to Israeli restrictions. The humanitarian crisis has reached levels where children express a desire for heaven due to the lack of food.
A large proportion of the population of Gaza is starving. I don't know what you would call it other than mass-starvation - and it's man-made, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
More than 100 aid agencies had earlier issued a warning that mass starvation was spreading across Gaza and urged Israel to let humanitarian aid into the besieged strip.
The government of Israel's restrictions, delays, and fragmentation under its total siege have created chaos, starvation, and death.
Children tell their parents they want to go to heaven, because at least heaven has food.
