Aid organizations are sounding the alarm over rapidly deteriorating conditions in Gaza, where mass starvation is spreading due to severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. The crisis has intensified as Israel continues its military campaign against Hamas, further restricting humanitarian access. The United Nations and other agencies report that over half a million people are now facing catastrophic hunger, with children and the elderly most at risk. International pressure is mounting on Israel to allow more aid into the besieged enclave, but logistical challenges and ongoing hostilities have hindered relief efforts. Meanwhile, Hamas has accused Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war, a claim Israel denies, stating that aid delays are due to security concerns. The situation has drawn sharp condemnation from global leaders, with calls for an immediate ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian access. As diplomatic efforts stall, the civilian toll continues to rise, deepening what experts describe as one of the worst humanitarian disasters in recent memory.
