Starvation deaths in Gaza are the latest in the war on children and childhood' in territory, says UN agency Middle East crisis live
Briefly

Over 100 international NGOs accuse Israel of weaponizing humanitarian aid in Gaza, claiming a blockade has prevented major agencies from delivering supplies since early March. Israeli authorities assert there are no limits on aid. However, numerous requests for food, medicine, and shelter have been denied, leaving millions of dollars in aid stranded while hospitals face shortages. New registration rules introduced in March are thought to enable this obstruction, as they allow rejections based on ambiguous criteria. NGOs urge governments to demand an end to these restrictions and ensure operational independence for aid agencies.
More than 100 international NGOs have accused Israel of using humanitarian aid as a weapon in Gaza, claiming that major agencies have been unable to deliver supplies since early March.
Despite claims by Israeli authorities that there is no limit on humanitarian aid entering Gaza, dozens of requests for food, medicine, and shelter have been rejected.
The obstruction is linked to new registration rules introduced in March, allowing Israeli authorities to deny applications based on vague criteria like alleged delegitimization of the state.
Agencies such as CARE and Oxfam report millions of dollars' worth of aid stranded in warehouses due to the restrictions, leading to shortages in hospitals and increased suffering for civilians.
