Israel trying to deflect blame for widespread starvation in Gaza

Israeli officials have claimed either that hunger is non-existent or attributed it to Hamas or aid organizations.

The World Health Organization described the crisis as man-made starvation, supported by a statement from 28 countries explicitly blaming Israel. The current aid model is criticized for being inadequate and degrading to Gazans.
