"UN Warns of Catastrophic Hunger and Disease Crisis in War-Torn Gaza"

The United Nations relief agencies, including UNRWA and WFP, have issued dire warnings about the widespread hunger and potential for disease outbreaks in Gaza amidst ongoing conflict. Over a million people are displaced, with many facing starvation and inadequate shelter. The health system is under severe strain with numerous casualties and attacks on healthcare facilities. The death toll has surpassed 22,000, mainly civilians, and thousands more are missing. Despite the challenges, some hospital services have resumed. The situation is compounded by tensions and casualties in the West Bank, where the first demolition of Palestinian property in 2024 has been reported, continuing a trend of increasing violence and home demolitions.
