In Gaza, hunger has become a weapon of war. With food supplies dwindling and humanitarian access still blocked, families now face each day not knowing if they will eat at all. The World Food Programme has raised the alarm, warning of a deepening crisis that leaves no corner of the besieged enclave untouched. Bakeries are shuttered, aid convoys are stalled, and children sleep hungry beneath the sound of drones.

The blockade—tightened and unrelenting—has turned basic survival into a struggle. Nearly half a million people have been newly displaced since the last ceasefire collapsed, crammed into overcrowded UN shelters that offer little protection from bombs or disease. As winter gives way to blistering heat, water, medicine, and food remain out of reach for most.

Gaza’s Health Ministry reports an unthinkable toll: thousands of civilians, mostly women and children, killed or injured. Entire families erased. Neighbourhoods levelled. And beneath the rubble lie not only the dead, but the living—those still hoping, still waiting, for a world that might finally act.

The numbers speak of horror, but behind them are lives torn apart, futures stolen. Every day, Palestinians in Gaza endure hunger, displacement, and loss under a blockade sustained by global complicity and silence. The question is no longer how they survive, but how long the world will keep looking away.
