GAZA STRIP, JUL 25 – European Commissioner Hadja Lahbib urges immediate ceasefire and unrestricted aid access as malnutrition affects 20% of pregnant women and 25% of children, WHO reports.

- WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called the situation a "man-made mass starvation," and European Commissioner Lahbib called for a permanent ceasefire and reopening all crossings.
- The worsening famine and political deadlock prompted Britain, France, and Germany to plan an emergency call addressing ceasefire efforts and Palestinian statehood recognition.

Two weeks ago, the EU and Israel reached an agreement on more humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza, but the situation is getting worse and worse.
Five starving children were dying in a hospital in Gaza City, and nothing the doctors tried helped. Basic treatments for malnutrition that could save them have disappeared due to the Israeli blockade. The replacements they had didn't work. One by one, babies and small children died over the course of four days, AP writes.
