Palestinians risk lives for aid as Israel’s restrictions deepen hunger crisis

Palestinians in Gaza face famine due to Israeli restrictions on aid, with starvation imminent. Food, fuel, and medicine are scarce, and people are resorting to desperate measures to feed their families.

The UN warns that everyone in Gaza is facing famine-like conditions, and people are risking their lives to reach aid trucks. Israel’s blockade also threatens a vital source of food, as fishermen are fired upon while trying to catch fish off the Gaza coast. With small mills grinding to a halt and the price of wheat skyrocketing, many Palestinians are close to starvation. The international community must act to alleviate the suffering of the people of Gaza.
