Canadian aid agency workers call for action saying starvation is rampant in Gaza
GAZA, AUG 1 – Aid groups report a tenfold rise in child malnutrition and critical shortages of food and medical supplies due to blockades and conflict in Gaza, worsening the humanitarian crisis.
- Canadian aid agencies reported on August 1, 2025, that starvation and malnutrition are widespread among children in Gaza, as thousands seek medical help daily.

- Aid workers described a tenfold increase in acute child malnutrition over two months, clinics crowded with 200 to 300 patients daily, and healthcare staff also needing assistance.
- Danny Glenwright reported that food is unavailable throughout Gaza except for the small amounts they currently have, which are quickly depleting, while Mark Carney criticized Israel for blocking aid deliveries and urged all parties to agree to a ceasefire.
- Experts warned of a famine scenario with lasting damage to survivors, and aid groups urged Canadians to pressure their government for immediate action and opening borders to aid.
