'Indescribable' Crisis Deepens for Many Mothers, Malnourished Children in Gaza as IDF Expands Military Operation
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 22 – More than 30,000 children under 5 in Gaza suffer acute malnutrition with 21 deaths reported this year amid aid blockades and collapsing medical supplies, UN and WHO warn.
- Amid claims of a hunger emergency, Israel Defense Forces said there's no widespread starvation in Gaza, accusing Hamas of exploiting aid deliveries to fund its 'war machine'.
- Amid restricted aid pipelines, WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned over 2 million Gazans face starvation, citing collapsed supplies and severe water shortages.
- Despite lifted blockade, Israel said around 4,500 aid trucks entered Gaza since May, while the UN reported only 70 per day versus 500–600 needed and residents pay up to $30 for rice.
- Amid these warnings, 115 human rights and charity groups issued a letter warning Gazans were 'waste away,' while Israel’s Foreign Ministry called it echoing Hamas’ propaganda.
- Amid mounting pressure, UN spokesperson said, "We stand ready to seize the opportunity of a ceasefire to significantly scale up humanitarian operations across the Gaza Strip," adding Israel must allow critical equipment, fuel and aid.
