‘The Weak Treating the Weak’: Doctors in Gaza Are Fainting While Trying to Save Their Starving Patients | News Channel 3-12
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 24 – At least 45 starvation deaths have occurred in Gaza recently as aid workers collapse from hunger amid stalled ceasefire talks and a near-total blockade, UN officials said.
- On July 25, 2025, international and UN officials reported a severe hunger crisis in Gaza where doctors and aid workers are fainting due to starvation as the population faces widespread food insecurity.
- The crisis results from Israel's near-total blockade restricting humanitarian aid, combined with damaged infrastructure and impeded monitoring, which has delayed formal famine declarations despite evidence of widespread malnutrition.
- Humanitarian agencies emphasize that caregivers, including medical staff, receive minimal food daily while treating malnourished patients amid conditions described as a collapsing humanitarian system and rising starvation deaths.
- Philippe Lazzarini warned that the humanitarian system is breaking down as those providing care are struggling to obtain sufficient food, while Gaza's health ministry has confirmed at least 113 deaths caused by starvation since the conflict began.
- This escalating situation has increased calls for unrestricted aid access, a ceasefire, and a formal famine declaration to address the humanitarian catastrophe and its impact on Gaza's population and health workers.
