Over 100 international humanitarian organizations are demanding Israel lift its Gaza blockade, citing depleted supplies and starvation among aid workers and civilians. The UN reports dozens of deaths from starvation, with doctors and aid workers fainting from hunger. Major news agencies like AFP are evacuating staff due to the "untenable" situation, highlighting the dire conditions and the deaths of journalists due to starvation. Israel denies responsibility and blames Hamas and UN agencies, but the EU and other Western nations criticize Israel's actions. The crisis continues with escalating deaths due to hunger and violence.
