Overview

  • Gaza’s Health Ministry reports 101 confirmed starvation deaths since May, including 80 children, as food stocks run out under the siege
  • The UN human rights office says over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces at aid sites since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began operations in late May
  • The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation delivers millions of meals daily under IDF security but faces UN and NGO boycotts over alleged breaches of neutrality
  • More than 100 aid and rights groups, including the Norwegian Refugee Council and Mercy Corps, have called for an immediate ceasefire, the opening of all land crossings and a return to a UN-led humanitarian response
  • UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has likened Gaza’s humanitarian collapse to a “horror show” and warned of looming mass starvation without immediate aid access
