4 Things to Know About ‘Mass Starvation’ in Gaza
GAZA, JUL 25 – The United Nations and aid groups report that 100,000 women and children in Gaza suffer severe acute malnutrition amid halted aid and ongoing conflict.
- Since the Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, Gaza has faced escalating starvation and suffering amid ongoing conflict and blockade.

- The worsening crisis has led to urgent warnings by over 100 NGOs about mass starvation in Gaza and calls for immediate humanitarian aid and ceasefire negotiations.
