Gaza Strip famine

The Gaza Strip is experiencing a severe famine as a result of the Israel–Hamas war. The famine has resulted from Israeli airstrikes that have destroyed food infrastructure, such as bakeries and flour mills, and a widespread scarcity of essential supplies. This has left over half a million Gazans on the brink of starvation and is part of a broader humanitarian crisis in the Strip.

Human rights groups have accused Israel of using starvation as a method of warfare. The limited entry of aid trucks has exacerbated the famine, prompting experts to label it as one of the worst instances of man-made starvation in nearly a century.
