In Gaza, hunger has become a weapon, and time is running out.

The UN World Food Programme has warned that its food supplies in the besieged enclave have been completely depleted. Aid trucks are stranded at sealed crossings, and the 700,000 people once fed daily by the WFP are now left to fend for themselves in what aid workers call “a nightmare scenario.”

Hospitals are overwhelmed with malnourished children, families are surviving on scraps—if anything—and the Kerem Shalom crossing, Gaza’s main lifeline, remains shut tight.

Despite mounting appeals from the EU, Turkey, South Africa and international organisations, the Israeli occupation continues to block aid access. The use of starvation as a tool of war is not just immoral—it’s a grave breach of international law.

This isn’t just a humanitarian crisis. It’s a deliberate, preventable disaster unfolding in plain sight. And the cost is being paid by Gaza’s most vulnerable: its children, its elderly, its future.
