US EditionTwo Million Facing Starvation in Gaza, Warns WHO Chief
- The WHO chief warned on May 19, 2025, that two million Palestinians in Gaza face starvation due to a near-total blockade since early March 2025.
- This humanitarian crisis arose after Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu cut off aid to pressure Hamas and restrict aid flow despite international law prohibiting starvation as warfare.
- Aid agencies have 3,000 truckloads of food and medicine waiting at Gaza’s border, but aid has not entered for over ten weeks, worsening the health system collapse.
