Gaza Faces Man-Made Famine Amidst War | JQJO

A UN-backed report warns that Gaza faces "man-made" famine due to Israel's ongoing war, with over half a million people in Gaza governorate experiencing starvation. The UN's special rapporteur on the right to food accused Israel of using hunger as a weapon, a claim Israel denies, citing biased data and stating it has no policy of starvation. Projections indicate famine will spread, leading to acute malnutrition in thousands of children. Obstacles to aid delivery, including Israeli restrictions and damaged infrastructure, exacerbate the crisis, with alternative aid sites proving dangerous and inaccessible for many.
