A catastrophic food crisis is unfolding in Gaza, with nearly 300,000 children facing the threat of starvation due to the continued blockade of humanitarian aid. Aid organizations warn that the situation has reached a critical level, particularly impacting infants and young children.
According to local health sources and humanitarian agencies, more than 3,500 infants are at serious risk due to the unavailability of baby formula and essential nutrition. The humanitarian crisis has been exacerbated by Israel’s ongoing blockade, imposed on March 2 during a temporary ceasefire, which has halted all forms of aid into the besieged territory.
Despite mounting civilian casualties and growing global awareness, the blockade remains in effect, drawing fierce criticism from aid organizations. Oxfam, a leading humanitarian watchdog, has condemned the international community’s silence, stating that the world bears collective responsibility for the dire conditions Gaza’s children now face.
In parallel to the deepening humanitarian crisis, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have continued without pause. Since early morning, more than 40 Palestinians have been reported killed in renewed attacks.
International human rights groups and aid agencies have called for immediate action to lift the blockade, allow humanitarian access, and prevent a mass starvation event in the already devastated region.
