Food security experts warn Gaza is at critical risk of famine if Israel doesn't end its blockade

  • Food security experts warned on Monday that nearly half a million Palestinians in Gaza face catastrophic hunger amid an ongoing Israeli blockade and military campaign.
  • The current situation follows a comprehensive blockade imposed since early March 2024 that restricts food, fuel, medicine, and aid supplies into Gaza despite the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.
  • Aid agencies report widespread food shortages, destroyed farmland, failing water systems, and thousands of Palestinians standing for hours in the sun to receive limited meals at communal kitchens.
  • An assessment found 477,000 people, representing 22% of Gaza's population, are in catastrophic hunger and crises could deepen without blockades ending, risking famine, health collapse, and civil unrest.
  • Analysts emphasize that starvation already affects many, and a formal famine declaration should not delay urgent humanitarian action to alleviate ongoing suffering in Gaza.
