Bob Geldof accuses Israeli authorities of 'lying' about starvation in Gaza
- Bob Geldof accused Israeli authorities on July 26, 2025, of lying about starvation in Gaza amid a humanitarian crisis.
- The crisis stems from an Israeli blockade that blocks over 6,000 aid trucks, including food and medicine, worsening Gaza's dire conditions.
- Doctors Without Borders called Gaza a genocide scene as malnutrition spikes and bodies accumulate while aid access declines sharply.
- Geldof stated, "the Israeli authorities are lying" and described the blockade as a "terrifying war weapon," highlighting up to 1,000 starvation deaths this month.
- The situation implies urgent global action is needed to prevent further humanitarian catastrophe and end the systematic starvation of Gaza's civilians.

Bob Geldof accuses Israeli authorities of 'lying' about starvation in Gaza
Bob Geldof has accused the Israeli authorities of "lying" about starvation in Gaza - after Israel's government spokesperson claimed there was "no famine caused by Israel".
Palestinians and relief organizations in the coastal strip are alarming because of malnutrition. Israel has meanwhile expanded its ground operation. Criticism of the action is growing, including within Israel.
More than 100 people die of hunger in the Gaza Strip. Children are particularly affected. Relief organizations are calling for an end to Israel's blockade.
"The bombs, it's a matter of luck. Killing at hunger? Is it for everyone," AFP's photographer tells the Observer. Images of the last days can affect the sensitivity of some readers.
