'Our children are dying slowly': Gaza father searches for food
Small children, squashed at the front, are in tears. One of them holds up a plastic basin hoping for some ladles of soup. Haw pushes forward in the scrum until he receives his share.
Haw does this every day because he fears his children are starving. He sets out through the ruins of Jabalia in northern Gaza in search of food, waiting in panicked crowds for up to six hours to get barely enough to feed his family.
Some days he gets lucky and can find lentil soup. Other days he returns empty-handed.
'I have a sick daughter. I can't provide her with anything. There is no bread, there is nothing,' said Haw, 39. 'I'm here since eight in the morning, just to get one plate for six people while it is not enough for one person.'
Israel has blocked the entry of medical, food and fuel supplies into Gaza since the start of March, prompting international experts to warn of looming famine in the besieged enclave that is home to 2.3-million Palestinians.

Israeli strike kills hungry Gaza family in their sleep
The Al-Shaer family went to bed hungry at their home in Gaza City. An Israeli air strike killed them in their sleep. The family — freelance journalist Wala al-Jaabari, her husband and their five children — were among more than 100 people killed in 24 hours of Israeli strikes or gunfire, according to health officials. Their corpses lay in white shrouds outside their bombed home on Wednesday with their names scribbled in pen. Blood seeped through the shrouds as they lay there, staining them red. 'This is my cousin. He was 10. We dug them out of the rubble,' Amr al-Shaer, holding one of the bodies after retrieving it. Iman al-Shaer, another relative who lives nearby, said the family hadn't eaten anything before the bombs came down. 'The children slept without food,' he said. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the strike at the family's home, but said its air force had struck 120 targets throughout Gaza in the past day, including 'terrorist cells, military structures, tunnels, booby-trapped structures, and additional terrorist infrastructure sites'. Relatives said some neighbours were spared only because they had been out searching for food at the time of the strike. Ten more Palestinians died overnight from starvation, the Gaza health ministry said, bringing the total number of people who have starved to death to 111, most of them in recent weeks as a wave of hunger crashes on the Palestinian enclave. The World Health Organisation said on Wednesday 21 children under the age of five were among those who died of malnutrition so far this year. It said it had been unable to deliver any food for nearly 80 days between March and May and that a resumption of food deliveries was still far below what is needed.

Gaza facing man-made 'mass starvation', says WHO's Tedros
Gaza's food stocks have run out since Israel, at war with Palestinian militant group Hamas since October 2023, cut off all supplies to the territory in March and then lifted that blockade in May — but with restrictions that it says are needed to prevent aid from being diverted to militant groups. As a result, international aid agencies say that only a trickle of what is needed is reaching people in Gaza. Israel says it is committed to allowing in aid but must control it to prevent it from being diverted by militants. It says it has let enough food into Gaza during the war and blames Hamas for the suffering of Gaza's 2.2-million people. Ten more Palestinians died overnight from starvation, the Gaza health ministry said, bringing the total number of people who have starved to death to 111, most of them in recent weeks as a wave of hunger crashes on the Palestinian enclave. The WHO said the deadly surge in malnutrition has caused the deaths of at least 21 children reported to the agency in 2025, but stressed those figures are likely the tip of the iceberg. Centres for treating malnutrition are full without sufficient supplies for emergency feeding, the WHO added, as the hunger crisis has been compounded by the collapse of aid pipelines and restrictions on access. Tedros also said the UN and its humanitarian partners were unable to deliver any food for nearly 80 days between March and May, and the resumption of deliveries was still insufficient. The situation is dire, he and other WHO officials said, with about 10% of people screened experiencing either severe or moderate malnutrition, and up to 20% of pregnant women. In July alone, 5,100 children have been admitted to malnutrition programmes, including 800 who were severely emaciated, said Rik Peeperkorn, WHO's representative for the occupied Palestinian territories.

Famine's shadow over Gaza: How children are bearing the brunt of the humanitarian crisis
Palestinian children wait for a meal at a charity kitchen in the Mawasi area of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip. Image: AFP Weakness. Fatigue. Dizziness. Muscle wasting. Weakened immune system. Persistent hunger. These are only a few of the several symptoms of fatigue. This is the reality of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Over 20 months into the Israeli-Palestinian War, the Gaza Strip remains confronted with a critical risk of famine. According to UNICEF and an Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report, this risk is not just possible but increasingly likely due to expanded military operations, the inability of humanitarian agencies to access those in need, anticipated escalation of hostilities, and continued mass displacement. Months had passed since a blockade was implemented, halting humanitarian aid and commercial supplies from entering the territory, which led to depletion or imminent depletion of essential goods. The IPC report stated the entire population of Gaza is facing high levels of acute food insecurity, with half a million people (one in five) facing starvation. The IPC's report on food insecurity from 11 May to 30 September 2025 indicates that the entire population is in an Emergency situation (IPC Phase 4). Most of the population is expected to experience Crisis levels of food insecurity or worse (IPC Phase 3 or higher). This includes: 470,000 people (22%) in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) Over 1 million people (54%) in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) Half a million people (24%) in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) From 1 April to 10 May 2025, 1.95 million people (93%) were classified as facing Crisis levels or worse (IPC Phase 3 or higher). This group includes 244,000 people (12%) in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) and 925,000 people (44%) in Emergency (IPC Phase 4). A staggering total of 71,000 children under the age of five are expected to be acutely malnourished until March 2026, with 14,100 of these cases expected to be severe. The head of Gaza's largest hospital said 21 children have died due to malnutrition and starvation in the Palestinian territory in the past three days, amid a devastating assault by Israeli forces. As if that isn't enough, nearly 17,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women also require treatment for acute malnutrition during this period The IPC stated that Acute malnutrition in North Gaza, Gaza, and Rafah governorates will likely reach Critical levels until the end of September. So if the statistics are this alarming, what is the debate about famine declaration? While there is no universally accepted definition in international law, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) developed the IPC, a five-stage quantitative humanitarian scale. The IPC quantifiable criteria for declaring famine are: 20% or more of households in an area face extreme food shortages with a limited ability to cope . Acute malnutrition in children exceeds 30% . The death rate exceeds two people per 10,000 per day . Meeting these benchmarks signals the need for a "famine" declaration, which, while not triggering legal obligations, is an important political signal for international humanitarian action. According to the UN, on July 9, 2024, no fewer than 11 experts mandated by the United Nations Human Rights Council issued a "mayday call about famine in Gaza." However, despite the experts' conclusions and glaring physical evidence, competent UN entities and executive heads had not yet officially declared Level 5 (famine) by July 2025. Reasons for non-declaration Lack of data: Israel's prevention of access for journalists and some humanitarian workers means IPC analysts lack primary data collection capabilities for Gaza. Political considerations: There is a perception that political considerations, influenced by the US administration, override professional imperatives within the UN system, with fear of punitive actions like sanctions or defunding. Only immediate and sustained cessation of hostilities and the resumption of humanitarian aid delivery can prevent a descent into Famine. The UN has outlined several critical recommendations to address the humanitarian crisis: End Hostilities: An immediate, unconditional, and sustained ceasefire is essential to reduce the risk of famine and alleviate catastrophic suffering. Ensure Humanitarian Access: Unhindered and safe access for humanitarian aid must be guaranteed to deliver lifesaving, multi-sectoral assistance at scale. This includes food, healthcare, water and sanitation (WASH), essential non-food items, fuel, and cooking gas. Protect Aid Workers, Civilians, and Civilian Infrastructure: It is vital to safeguard those delivering and receiving aid, as well as to restore infrastructure that is critical for survival and assistance delivery. Multi-sectoral Interventions: Food assistance alone is insufficient; integrated interventions that encompass food, nutrition, health, WASH, and livelihoods support are crucial. Restore Commercial Supply and Local Production: Efforts should be made to restore large-scale commercial supply chains, essential services, market systems, and local production capabilities. IOL
