Nearly one in three people in Gaza are going days without food, the UN’s World Food Programme has warned, with 90,000 women and children in urgent need of treatment for malnutrition.
Nine more people reportedly died of hunger on Friday, bringing the total to 122 since the war began. While Israel denies restricting aid, access remains limited, worsening the crisis, according to BBC.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Britain may join planned aid airdrops, though aid groups warn they are not a long-term solution. Jordan and the UAE are also awaiting clearance to deliver supplies.
The UN and several countries have urged Israel to lift restrictions immediately, calling the humanitarian situation in Gaza unacceptable. UN chief Antonio Guterres condemned the global inaction and lack of compassion, BBC reported.
