Gaza Hunger Crisis Deepens Amidst Ongoing Israel-Hamas Conflict

Displaced families in Gaza, including children, are suffering from severe hunger as the ongoing war impedes food deliveries. Many families are struggling to find enough food and water to survive, with aid trucks only able to bring in a fraction of what is needed. Some trucks have been looted, and access roads to devastated areas are active battlegrounds. The lack of food and clean water is causing weight loss, dizziness, and illness among the population, particularly affecting babies and children. The dire situation has led to families resorting to eating inadequate meals, rationing water, and even making meals out of onions. The war has resulted in a humanitarian catastrophe, with thousands of people, mostly women and children, killed and displaced.

Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, has been accused of multiple attacks on hospitals, mass killings, and ethnically motivated violence. The United Nations and Doctors Without Borders have raised concerns over the reported atrocities. The situation threatens to reignite the civil war that devastated Darfur two decades ago.
