US EditionCanadian aid agency workers call for action saying starvation is rampant in Gaza
GAZA, AUG 1 – Aid groups report a tenfold rise in child malnutrition and critical shortages of food and medical supplies due to blockades and conflict in Gaza, worsening the humanitarian crisis.
- Canadian aid agencies reported on August 1, 2025, that starvation and malnutrition are widespread among children in Gaza and the aid workers supporting them.
- The crisis stems from Israel's military offensive and an aid blockade that severely restricts food, medical supplies, and essential nutrients from entering Gaza.
- Clinics are overwhelmed with 200 to 300 arrivals daily, including malnourished children and even clinic staff's own children, while blood and medical supplies run critically low.
- Danny Glenwright said there has been "a tenfold increase" in acutely malnourished children and called the government's inability to do more "shameful," urging Canadians to pressure for action.
- Aid groups called for immediate border openings for aid trucks and an urgent ceasefire, warning that a worst-case famine scenario is unfolding with lifelong consequences for Gaza's children.
