Over 2 million people in Gaza are enduring severe food shortages, particularly affecting 1 million children. Almost one-third of the population is going days without food, with reported increases in malnutrition and starvation-related deaths. Humanitarian organizations have highlighted the impending risk of famine due to strict Israeli restrictions on aid supplies. World Health Organization officials characterize the situation as "mass starvation". Thousands of aid trucks remain blocked from entering Gaza, worsening the crisis of hunger and health among the population.
Under near-total Israeli siege, the more than 2 million people in Gaza, including some 1 million children, face desperate and worsening hunger. Nearly 1 in 3 people are going multiple days without eating.
World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated, "I don't know what you would call it other than mass starvation, and it's man-made, and that's very clear."
