US EditionPalestinian minister reports 29 Gaza deaths from starvation
- On Thursday, the Palestinian health minister announced that starvation has claimed the lives of 29 children and elderly individuals in Gaza amid an ongoing Israeli blockade that has lasted for 11 weeks since March.
- Israel imposed the blockade due to concerns Hamas was seizing aid deliveries for fighters, although Hamas denies these allegations and aid trucks remain largely held at the border.
- Only about 90 to 100 aid trucks have entered Gaza's south and mid zones, but most supplies have yet to reach civilians or medical facilities amid ongoing attacks and collapsing health services.
- The United Nations aid chief has highlighted that a significant number of infants face the risk of death without urgent assistance, while health officials report that only a handful of Gaza's 36 hospitals remain partly operational, with medical supplies nearly exhausted.
- These starvation deaths and limited aid access underscore urgent famine risks for thousands more in Gaza as the blockade and attacks continue to strain the health system and humanitarian situation.
