Cindy McCain highlights dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, calls for global attention

As children face death and malnutrition in Gaza, Cindy McCain urges for greater aid access and warns against overlooking crises in other nations.

Cindy McCain, director of the World Food Programme, warns that children in Gaza are dying due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, emphasizing the urgent need for aid worker access.
Over 13,000 children have been killed in Gaza since October 7, with acute malnutrition affecting one in three children under age 2 in northern Gaza.
McCain stresses the importance of opening more border crossings to deliver food and resources to 1.1 million people in Gaza for three months.
While focusing on Gaza's famine threat, McCain also calls on the world not to forget other countries facing food crises, such as Sudan, DRC Congo, Somalia, Yemen, and Haiti.
Nearly 18 million people in Sudan are facing acute food insecurity, highlighting the global scale of the hunger crisis.
