10 Die of Starvation in Gaza Within 24 Hours as UN Official Calls for Sanctions on Israel - Jordan News
Ten Palestinians, including an infant, have died of starvation in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza. Meanwhile, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food has called on the international community to impose sanctions on Israel. اضافة اعلان The Health Ministry announced that the total number of deaths due to starvation and malnutrition has now reached 122, including 83 children. In the early hours of Saturday morning, sources at Nasser Medical Complex reported the death of a six-month-old Palestinian infant, Zeinab Ahmed Abu Hleib, due to severe malnutrition. The sources confirmed that the infant died as a result of a lack of food and medicine caused by the Israeli blockade on Gaza. Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, Director-General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, warned that deaths from hunger are rapidly increasing, particularly among children. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Al-Bursh revealed that more than 3,000 miscarriages and stillbirths have been recorded in Gaza in recent months due to famine and malnutrition. He added that the world has failed to deliver even a single can of milk to save Palestinian children, who are wasting away before the eyes of doctors powerless to help. Meanwhile, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) warned of an imminent depletion of life-saving therapeutic food supplies for children suffering from acute malnutrition in Gaza. According to UNICEF officials, current stocks are only sufficient to treat 3,000 children and are expected to run out within three weeks if no new supplies arrive—posing dire consequences for already at-risk children. UN officials also warned that the lack of high-calorie nutritional supplements could halt programs aimed at preventing malnutrition among vulnerable groups, including pregnant women and children under five. Call to Sanction Israel In related news, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Michael Fakhri, told Al Jazeera that sanctions against Israel are necessary, emphasizing that mere condemnation by some countries is no longer sufficient. He stated that Israel has repeatedly declared its intention to starve the people of Gaza. Mirjana Spoljaric, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), also called for an immediate and decisive end to the tragedy in Gaza. Spoljaric said the level of suffering and degradation of human dignity in Gaza has surpassed all legal and moral boundaries. She stressed that every passing minute without a ceasefire costs more civilian lives. Hostilities are claiming lives without mercy, and death stalks people even as they search for food. Spoljaric highlighted that children are dying from a lack of food, and families are being forced to flee repeatedly in search of elusive safety. Air-Dropping Aid to Gaza British newspaper iNews, citing diplomatic sources, reported that the UK is working with international allies to begin air-dropping humanitarian aid into Gaza. The report noted that the British Royal Air Force is expected to lead these efforts. Previously, Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported that the Israeli army had destroyed tens of thousands of aid items—including large quantities of food—intended for Gaza residents, amid an unprecedented famine in the besieged enclave. Military sources claimed that the destroyed aid included supplies equivalent to 1,000 truckloads of food and medical items. They added, "There are thousands of aid packages sitting in the sun. If they are not transported into Gaza, we will have to destroy them." The Israeli military justified the destruction of the aid by citing 'failures in the distribution mechanism' inside Gaza. The destruction of thousands of tons of humanitarian aid comes at a time when Gaza is suffering from widespread hunger, with its population of 2.3 million people on the brink of famine. This also coincides with global protests and calls from political leaders and international organizations demanding that Israel allow humanitarian aid into the Strip and halt its war on Gaza, now approaching its second year. Since October 7, 2023, Israel—with U.S. backing—has waged a genocidal war in Gaza, leaving more than 203,000 Palestinians killed or injured, most of them women and children. Over 9,000 remain missing, with hundreds of thousands displaced, and famine has already claimed many lives. – (Al Jazeera)

Ben Gvir: 'No hunger in Gaza, I support starving Hamas'
'Israeli' National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir denied the existence of famine in Gaza, stating: 'Factually, there is no hunger in Gaza.' He added: 'If they were really hungry, they would have returned the hostages already,' and openly declared: 'I support starving Hamas in Gaza.' 1. עובדתית אין רעב בעזה. 2. אם הם היו רעבים כבר היו מחזירים את החטופים הביתה. 3. אני בעד להרעיב את החמאס בעזה. — איתמר בן גביר (@itamarbengvir) July 25, 2025 Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, Director General of the Health Ministry in Gaza, has warned of a deepening humanitarian catastrophe in the besieged enclave. He said residents of Gaza are facing a severe famine, with many surviving only on salt and water for days. 'Some people have lost up to 25 kilograms in recent weeks,' he noted, describing the situation as widespread across the population. He cited alarming findings from a recent health survey of pregnant women and children, which revealed that over 50% now suffer from acute malnutrition, a sharp increase from just 0.5% at the start of the month. Al-Bursh called the figures 'terrifying jumps' that point to total nutritional collapse. He accused the Israeli Occupation of deliberately creating crises and committing a slow-motion genocide against civilians. Over 13% of Gaza's population, he said, are crammed into an area no larger than one square kilometer, around 40,000 people living in what he called a 'maze of death.'

Gaza health chief warns of mass starvation, collapse
Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, Director General of the Health Ministry in Gaza, has warned of a deepening humanitarian catastrophe in the besieged enclave, describing the situation as living in a 'triangle of death' due to the continued 'Israeli' assault and blockade that has lasted over nine months. Speaking on Roya TV's Donya Ya Donya program, Al-Bursh expressed gratitude to Jordan - its leadership, government, and people - for their continued support to Gaza, saying Jordan's stance is "deeply appreciated by the people of the Strip." Al-Bursh said residents of Gaza are facing a severe famine, with many surviving only on salt and water for days. 'Some people have lost up to 25 kilograms in recent weeks,' he noted, describing the situation as widespread across the population. He cited alarming findings from a recent health survey of pregnant women and children, which revealed that over 50% now suffer from acute malnutrition, a sharp increase from just 0.5% at the start of the month. Al-Bursh called the figures 'terrifying jumps' that point to total nutritional collapse. He accused the Israeli Occupation of deliberately creating crises and committing a slow-motion genocide against civilians. Over 13% of Gaza's population, he said, are crammed into an area no larger than one square kilometer, around 40,000 people living in what he called a 'maze of death.' Al-Bursh concluded by stating that Gaza has entered the fourth - and possibly fifth - stage of famine, warning that the international community remains silent as the war continues with no real pressure to stop it. Also appearing on the program, Jordanian doctor Ihab Jaradat, who recently returned from a medical mission to Gaza with the 'Mercy Around the World' delegation, described the situation as 'catastrophic in every sense.' He said that Nasser Medical Complex is functioning without the most basic resources, while the population in northern Gaza lives among ruins, tents, and debris. 'The medical staff is completely exhausted, trying to save lives in impossible conditions,' Jaradat said, highlighting the severe shortage of medications, equipment, and sanitary infrastructure.
