Worst-Case Famine Unfolds in Gaza as Aid Deliveries Stall

UN experts joined by President Trump demand Israel lift its blockade to allow unhindered aid into Gaza

Overview

  • Aid agencies report 82 adult and 93 child starvation deaths in Gaza over the past five weeks.
  • Over 20,000 children have been hospitalized for acute malnutrition between April and mid-July, signaling a rapid deterioration in food security.
  • Israeli authorities have permitted only about 84 aid trucks per day since late July, far below the 600 daily shipments aid groups say are required.
  • More than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution sites as trapped crowds vie for scarce supplies.
  • The International Court of Justice and UN experts have warned that the blockade risks genocide, and President Trump has called on Israel to permit full food deliveries.
