Israel is under fire from over 100 humanitarian organisations, accused of enforcing a brutal aid blockade on Gaza that has led to catastrophic levels of malnutrition. Reports reveal that ten people, including children, have died from starvation-related causes in the past 24 hours alone.
Humanitarian Catastrophe Unfolds
The coalition of charities, including prominent international aid groups, has issued a damning statement condemning Israel's restrictions on essential supplies. They claim the blockade has created a man-made famine, with food, medicine, and clean water deliberately withheld from Gaza's civilian population.
Children Bear the Brunt
Medical workers on the ground report harrowing scenes of emaciated children suffering from severe acute malnutrition. Hospitals, already crippled by shortages of medicines and equipment, are struggling to cope with the influx of starvation cases.
International Response
The United Nations has described the situation as "a humanitarian catastrophe of unprecedented scale." Several European governments have called for immediate action to lift the blockade, while human rights organisations are preparing legal challenges against Israel at international courts.
As the death toll from malnutrition continues to rise, pressure mounts on world leaders to intervene before what aid workers are calling "a genocide by starvation" claims more innocent lives.
