Overview

• The Gaza Ministry of Health reported seven malnutrition-related deaths in the past 24 hours, raising child fatalities to 93 and adult deaths to 76 since late June.
• The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification warns Gaza has teetered on the edge of famine for two years and that March’s stricter blockade dramatically worsened food insecurity.
• A UN report says 859 people were killed near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution sites between May 27 and July 31 under conditions of collapsed public order.
• Israel’s decision to allow about 100 aid trucks daily at key crossings remains far below the volume needed, prompting calls for open land routes rather than costly Jordan-led airdrops.
• Desperate families are spending days begging, scavenging seawater for cooking and burning refuse for fuel as limited relief deepens their desperation.
