This week, amidst the ongoing conflict, over 370 Palestinians have been killed by Israel, prompting renewed warnings from the UN about imminent mass starvation in Gaza.
The intensified violence has particularly impacted northern Gaza, with hospitals repeatedly bombed. A report released by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) initiative stated that the Gaza Strip is still confronted with a critical risk of famine.
The UN has reiterated its capacity to deliver aid across Gaza, hindered by restrictions imposed by Israel. Despite international calls for a ceasefire and increased humanitarian access, the situation remains dire, with Palestinians facing severe shortages of food and medical supplies.
