The ongoing blockade of Gaza by Israel has led to a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, with reports indicating that many families are facing severe hunger and malnutrition as they enter the third month of restricted access to food and essential supplies. Aid groups and UN officials have condemned the blockade, labeling it a cruel form of collective punishment and warning of an imminent starvation crisis that threatens the lives of over 290,000 children. Despite international outcry and calls for urgent assistance, Israel plans to control aid distribution through U.S. contractors, a move that has sparked backlash. Photos and videos from Gaza depict the dire conditions, with children suffering from acute malnutrition, and local kitchens reporting dwindling food supplies. The situation has led to rising tensions and looting amid fears of mass starvation, and as humanitarian agencies run out of food stocks, the world watches in silence.
