Gazans face starvation and dire humanitarian conditions as Israel's blockade persists

More than two months after Israel sealed Gaza’s borders on March 2, its 2.3 million residents face severe starvation and collapsing humanitarian conditions.
Israel imposed a total blockade banning food, water, medical supplies, and fuel amid renewed military operations after a Hamas attack in October 2023.
Humanitarian agencies report extensive destruction of food infrastructure, over 90% displacement, mounting malnutrition especially among children and pregnant women, and near depletion of aid stocks.
The UN stated that since January, 9,000–10,000 children suffer malnutrition and called the crisis a "cruel, man-made humanitarian catastrophe" with aid operations on the verge of shutting down.
Legal experts consider Israel's blockade and forced displacement war crimes, while civilian deaths exceed 52,600, mostly women and children, signaling a deepening humanitarian emergency.
