Gaza’s Children on Brink of Famine Amid Israeli Blockade

A crisis in Gaza has left thousands of Palestinian children at risk of starvation due to Israel’s prolonged blockade on humanitarian aid. The situation is dire, with reports indicating that 57 children have died from malnutrition since the blockade began. Experts warn that nearly 14,000 children under five are at risk of severe acute malnutrition over the next year. Despite some progress in easing the blockade, aid still struggles to reach those in need. Israel’s decision to ease restrictions has brought some relief, but it is not enough to address the crisis.
