GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 23 – More than 100 humanitarian groups warn that over 1 million Palestinians face mass starvation due to restricted aid and siege conditions imposed by Israel, with dozens dying recently.
- Hamas militants attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people and abducting 251 hostages.

- Gaza's health ministry reported over 1,000 Palestinians killed and 6,500 injured near aid sites since May 27, while malnutrition and starvation severely affect children and adults.
- Humanitarian groups demand lifting all restrictions, opening border crossings, restoring UN-led aid, and an immediate ceasefire to prevent further chaos, starvation, and deaths.

People in the Gaza Strip are crying out for hunger. Eyewitnesses report violence and chaos in the issue of relief supplies. Children, the weak and the elderly therefore usually go out empty.

In three days, 21 children died of hunger. 111 NGOs called for the lifting of the siege that prevented medical supplies and supplies from arriving in Palestinian territory. Since Israel's blockade in March, shortages have worsened. It was in this context that the Israeli President visited Gaza on Wednesday, 23 July, for the first time since the beginning of the conflict and affirmed that Israel is acting in accordance with "international law".
