Overview

• Doctors Without Borders says aid sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation under Israeli military and U.S. contractor control amount to “institutionalised starvation” and have seen lethal crowd-control measures.
• The U.N. human rights office reports that more than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed seeking food at GHF distribution points since May, with most fatalities attributed to Israeli military actions.
• A coalition of 35 U.N. special rapporteurs has called for the immediate dismantling of the U.S.- and Israeli-backed GHF, branding it an insult to humanitarian principles.
• Gaza health authorities confirm nearly 200 hunger-related deaths, including 96 children, as the enclave remains under a near-total blockade restricting commercial and U.N. aid.
• Data from OCHA and the WHO show almost 12,000 children under five were identified as acutely malnourished in July, with over 2,500 suffering severe acute malnutrition—the highest monthly figure ever recorded.
