Israel-Induced Starvation Worsens in Gaza as Children Die from Malnutrition

Gaza’s humanitarian crisis has reached a devastating peak, with reports confirming the deaths of a baby and a young child due to starvation. The worsening crisis is fueled by Israel’s ongoing blockade, which has severely restricted the entry of food, medical supplies, and other essential aid into the enclave. On Monday, Israeli forces killed over 60 Palestinians in a series of attacks across Gaza, including 11 people who were seeking aid. Tanks also advanced into the southern and eastern districts of Deir el-Balah for the first time, intensifying fears of further escalation. Aid agencies have repeatedly warned of the rapidly deteriorating conditions in Gaza, with thousands of children facing acute malnutrition. The blockade, now compounded by relentless military operations, has left families struggling to find food and safe shelter. International organizations are calling for immediate humanitarian access and a ceasefire to prevent more civilian deaths.

Hamas Condemns “Systematic Ethnic Cleansing” Hamas accused Israel of carrying out “systematic ethnic cleansing” through starvation, dehydration, and targeted killings, calling the deaths of more than 70 children from malnutrition a “stain on humanity.” In a statement, Hamas said: “Thousands of tons of aid are stuck behind the Rafah crossing as Gazans die of hunger, thirst, and disease. We hold the occupation and the US administration fully responsible for the massacres at aid points and the systematic killing mechanism in Gaza.” The group also called for an urgent investigation into the GHF (Gaza Humanitarian Facility), where more than 900 people have been killed while waiting for food and medical supplies.
