US EditionGaza Mothers Struggle to Feed Families Amid Famine: ‘No Dinner or Breakfast’
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 7 – At least 197 Palestinians have died from hunger and malnutrition due to a blockade restricting aid, with 12,000 children under five acutely malnourished in July, the UN reported.
- Gaza faces a severe hunger crisis as Israel's ongoing military escalation since October 2023 has caused widespread malnutrition and deaths across the region.
- The crisis worsened after Israel imposed a total blockade in March 2024, severely restricting aid and food supplies despite limited relief in May.
- Families like the Najjars and Muzheds survive on minimal food daily, with many children suffering acute malnutrition and hospitals reporting hundreds of famine-related deaths.
- WHO Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus reported nearly 12,000 malnourished children under five in July and called for more dietary diversity and aid to prevent further deterioration.
- The blockade and restricted humanitarian access have created what experts call the worst-case famine scenario, demanding urgent international intervention to avoid more deaths.
