TL;DR Summary

After months of warnings about famine in Gaza due to Israel's siege, children are beginning to die from malnutrition and dehydration, with at least 20 deaths reported. The situation is most dire in northern Gaza, where food supply deliveries have been cut off, and in the south, where access to aid is limited. Israel has been blamed for the crisis, but has recently agreed to open crossings for aid. The dire conditions have led to desperate measures, with families resorting to eating weeds and selling chocolate in tiny amounts. The situation is exacerbated by the lack of clean water and sanitation, leading to widespread malnutrition and deaths, particularly among children and the elderly.
