Entire Gaza Population at Risk of Famine, Says UN
- On June 2, 2025, the UN issued a warning that all residents of Gaza face the threat of famine amid ongoing Israeli military actions.
- The famine risk follows nearly 20 months of war triggered by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack and Israel's resumed operations since March 18, 2024.
- Israel intensified its offensive aiming to destroy Hamas, while negotiations for a ceasefire proposal backed by Israel have stalled after Hamas rejected it.
- UN spokesman Jens Laerke described Gaza as facing severe hunger, with only a small amount of aid being allowed through, characterizing the food deliveries as a slow and insufficient trickle.
- The crisis deepens amid Israel's announcement of 22 new West Bank settlements, drawing international criticism and endangering peace efforts toward a two-state solution.
