With over 1,000 killed near aid sites and 81 children dead from hunger, Gaza faces a man-made humanitarian collapse

As Israel faces mounting pressure to end the Gaza war, a hospital director says the Palestinian enclave is facing "alarming numbers of deaths" from starvation.

Prolonged and severe malnutrition is permanently damaging the health of children across Gaza. Doctors warn even if Israel lets in more food now, the damage to children's bodies can be irreversible.

Convoys of aid trucks have been seen heading to Gaza after Israel says humanitarian corridors would be opened in the face of mounting pressure.

Over 113 in Gaza have died from famine and malnutrition amid war, siege, and collapsing humanitarian aid routes.

Over 5,800 children in Gaza were diagnosed with malnutrition in June, UNICEF says, warning that the number of cases is rising rapidly.

Doctors Without Borders reported that child malnutrition in Gaza has tripled in two weeks, warning the crisis is worsening rapidly

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Malnutrition rates among children in the Gaza Strip have doubled since Israel sharply restricted the entry of food in March, the U.N. said Tuesday. New Israeli strikes killed more than 90 Palestinians, including dozens of women and children, according to health officials.

The World Health Organization said on Wednesday it was seeing a deadly surge in malnutrition in Gaza that has led to the deaths of 21 children under five so far in 2025. Malnutrition centers are full without sufficient supplies for emergency feeding,

Operations in three parts of the enclave were temporarily halted on Sunday to allow more aid to enter the territory, the Israeli military said. It was unclear if the decision would relieve the hunger crisis in Gaza.
