"Gaza's Looming Famine Crisis Amidst Israel-Hamas Conflict"

The world's leading authority on hunger warns that famine is "imminent" in northern Gaza, with the entire population of the Gaza Strip facing high levels of acute food insecurity. Reports indicate children are dying from malnutrition and dehydration, and the situation is described as "entirely man-made." Israeli authorities have limited aid entering Gaza, leading to desperate measures by Palestinians to feed their families. The United Nations calls for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire, while aid agencies urge Israel to open more border crossings to avert a humanitarian catastrophe.
