"Gaza's Desperate Hunger Crisis: Famine Looms as Acute Food Insecurity Grips the Region"

Thousands in north Gaza are facing near-starvation, with UN agencies warning of a possible famine by May if the fighting doesn't cease and aid doesn't increase. Save the Children's Deputy Team Leader for the Gaza response described the desperate situation, with people resorting to eating anything they can find. Aid efforts include food deliveries by ship, airdrops of meals, and concerns about cancer patients struggling to evacuate. The Israeli military has taken control of al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, and there are reports of people being detained after IDF raids on hospitals.
