A report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC, which evaluates global food emergencies, projected that 14,100 children in Gaza under age 5 would become severely malnourished over an 11-month period beginning in April 2025.

One in five people in the Gaza Strip are facing starvation as the entire territory edges closer to famine, a new United Nations-backed report warns, after nearly three months of Israel’s blockade of critically needed humanitarian aid.

Three days after Israel said it would relax its blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza, little, if any, of the urgently needed food, fuel and medicine appeared to have reached Palestinians.

Greece has not signed a statement issued mostly by EU countries demanding Israel to allow the full resumption of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Humanitarian organizations have warned that Israel's systematic starvation policy against more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip could result in the deaths of around 14,000 infants over the next two days unless urgent and adequate food aid is delivered.

Gaza children face dire starvation risk, but a UN leader got the timeline wrong when he said 14,000 babies would die in “the next 48 hours.” The report he referenced projected such severe child malnutrition in the region over 11 months.

Israel says it will allow a "basic amount of food" to enter Gaza, after a 10-week blockade has pushed Gazans on the verge of starvation.

Exposure to accurate reporting over the dire plight of people in Gaza resulted in 5% bump in those in Israel who supported aid convoys.
