Overview

  • An IPC report confirms that 22% of Gaza's population is now at catastrophic levels of food insecurity, with the entire enclave facing crisis-level conditions by September if aid is not restored.
  • Israeli airstrikes on May 13 and 14 killed over 100 civilians, including 28 near a hospital in Khan Younès, as military operations intensify across Gaza.
  • Médecins Sans Frontières reports a 32% spike in malnutrition cases in two weeks and warns of deliberate famine tactics aimed at civilian displacement.
  • Fuel shortages have halted water distribution, while medical facilities face critical supply deficits after 11 weeks of no aid deliveries.
  • Global protests are planned for May 15 to demand unimpeded humanitarian access, a permanent ceasefire, and international accountability for potential war crimes.
