US EditionOver 3,500 children below five ‘face imminent death by starvation’ in Gaza
- Over 3,500 children under five in Gaza face imminent death from starvation amid a blockade lasting over two months.
- The blockade began in October 2023 and has been intensified to prevent all humanitarian aid, causing acute malnutrition and widespread misery.
- Israel enforces a total blockade reportedly to pressure Hamas, which traps civilians including children in dangerous areas inaccessible to aid.
- Human Rights Watch calls this 'weaponizing starvation', a war crime, and UNICEF reports over 9,000 children treated for acute malnutrition this year.
- The crisis demands urgent international action to end the blockade as continued inaction risks more preventable child deaths and constitutes complicity.
