Gaza's Starvation Crisis Fuels Fears of Exodus into Egypt

As the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, Palestinians in Gaza are facing a worsening humanitarian crisis, with hunger spreading among the civilian population. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has warned of a breakdown in social order, and there are fears of a mass exodus into Egypt. Aid agencies have reported desperate attacks on aid trucks and sky-high prices, with half of the population said to be starving. Israel denies accusations that it is pushing Palestinians into Egypt and claims it is defending itself from Hamas, which it accuses of using civilians as human shields.
