"Gaza on the Brink: UN Warns of Looming Famine and Aid Truck Looting"

The UN reports that a quarter of Gaza's population is on the brink of famine, with virtually the entire population in desperate need of food. Aid trucks have been shot at, looted, and overwhelmed by hungry people, and civil order is breaking down, particularly in the north. The situation is dire, with 1 in 6 children under two suffering from acute malnutrition. The breakdown in civil order is preventing safe aid distribution, and the collapse of agricultural production is expected to be complete by May. Israel claims to be facilitating the entry of humanitarian aid, but UN officials emphasize the need for a ceasefire to allow humanitarian workers to enter Gaza and prevent widespread famine.
