US EditionSix more die of hunger in Gaza as trucks reach border for rare fuel delivery
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 4 – Aid deliveries to Gaza remain insufficient as starvation deaths rise to 175 since the war began, with hospitals struggling amid fuel shortages and widespread looting of aid trucks.
- Despite the rare fuel delivery, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported on Sunday that six more Palestinians died from starvation, raising the death toll to 175, including 93 children.
- Israel’s restrictions since March 2 have sealed Gaza’s main crossings, cutting off aid and making fuel shipments rare for 2.3 million Palestinians.
- Agencies report that two out of three famine thresholds have been breached across Gaza, with one in three people going days without food, according to the IPC.
- Rights groups warn, 'Human Rights Watch said Israel’s killing of aid seekers at GHF sites amount to war crimes,' and the OHCHR said most of these killings were by the Israeli military.
- Officials warn that at least 500/600 trucks of basics are needed daily, with four more UN fuel tankers likely to arrive later this week.
