Overview

• The two-month Israeli blockade has halted all humanitarian aid and commercial goods into Gaza, leading to severe shortages of food, water, and medicine.
• Community kitchens and WFP operations serving over 400,000 people are days from closure, as all food stocks have been exhausted.
• Acute child malnutrition cases have surged by 82% in one month, with nearly 3,700 children diagnosed last month, signaling a looming famine.
• Looting incidents, including at UNRWA facilities and food stores, have increased as desperation grows among Gaza's 2.2 million residents.
• The UN and ICJ hearings highlight international condemnation of the blockade, with calls to lift the restrictions and warnings of potential war crimes.
