The United Nations has warned that the entire population of Gaza is at risk of famine due to a severe shortage of food and medicine. The crisis comes as US President Donald Trump threatens a trade war with other countries, which could further exacerbate the situation.
According to UN officials, the humanitarian situation in Gaza has deteriorated significantly over the past few months, leaving thousands of people without access to basic necessities like food and clean water. The territory’s economy has been severely impacted by years of conflict and blockade, making it difficult for residents to afford essential goods.
The US administration’s trade policies could worsen the already dire situation in Gaza. Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on certain countries could lead to a sharp increase in food prices, further straining the territory’s already fragile economy.
The UN has called on the international community to provide urgent assistance to Gaza, including increased aid and diplomatic pressure on Israel to ease its blockade of the territory.
