Palestinian minister reports 29 Gaza deaths from starvation

  • On Thursday, the health official overseeing Gaza's medical situation reported that starvation has recently claimed the lives of 29 children and elderly individuals amid an ongoing 11-week blockade.
  • The deaths resulted from a blockade imposed by Israel in March that halted most aid, with Hamas denying claims it seized deliveries intended for civilians.
  • Although Israel allowed about 90 to 100 aid trucks, mostly carrying flour, Palestinians and aid groups say the supplies have yet to reach those in need and fall drastically short.
  • Majed Abu Ramadan reported that out of Gaza's 36 hospitals, merely seven or eight remain partially functional, with more than 90% of medical supplies depleted, and he cautioned that the UN’s figure of 14,000 babies at risk may actually underestimate the severity of the situation.
  • The limited aid flow sustains widespread hunger in Gaza, with tens of thousands at risk of starvation, indicating an urgent need to scale up humanitarian assistance and protect health infrastructure.
