In the shadow of international silence, Gaza is slowly starving to death. Over the past 80 days, 326 Palestinians have died from malnutrition and the lack of medical care. Among them are the elderly, the sick, and the unborn—more than 300 pregnant women have suffered miscarriages in a blockade that has cut off not just food and medicine, but hope.

Since 2 March 2025, not a single humanitarian or fuel truck has been allowed into the besieged enclave. With all crossings sealed, and no relief in sight, Gaza’s 2.4 million residents are enduring what can only be described as a deliberate, calculated assault on life itself. Entire families are being starved as a method of war—a tactic outlawed under international law but carried out with impunity.

Children waste away in silence, kidney patients perish for lack of care, and expectant mothers lose the babies they had fought to carry to term. The siege has become more than a war crime—it is a betrayal of humanity. And yet, governments that once boasted of defending human rights continue to look away.

International institutions remain paralysed, issuing statements while Gaza withers. Aid convoys are blocked, appeals for fuel ignored, and all the while, the death toll climbs. This is not a crisis caused by nature—it is engineered, enforced, and sustained by policy. And it is happening in full view of a watching world.

Calls for accountability are growing louder. Human rights groups, legal experts, and families of the victims are demanding prosecution of those responsible for what they describe as genocide. Yet justice feels as distant as relief trucks idling at sealed borders.

Time is running out. Gaza does not need symbolic gestures—it needs food, medicine, fuel, and above all, political will to end this siege. Anything less is complicity.
