Gaza’s Starving Infants: A Man-Made Famine Targets the Youngest

In the ruins of Gaza, where bombs have silenced lullabies and tents have replaced homes, another silent killer is creeping through the Strip, hunger. Hundreds of babies are now trapped in a nightmare no child should ever face: malnutrition and death, not from a lack of food, but from its deliberate denial.

Palestinian doctors warn of an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe, as "Israel" continues to block shipments of baby formula and vital supplements for breastfeeding mothers. In hospitals barely functioning under siege, medical workers have confirmed the deaths of mothers from starvation. Others, emaciated and weakened, can no longer nurse their children.

Deaths among infants are rising. Doctors speak of tiny bodies wasted by hunger, of newborns who never stood a chance. This isn't a consequence of nature, it is the result of calculated restriction, part of a broader system of collective punishment that strikes Gaza’s most vulnerable.

Medical teams describe the situation as unbearable, with famine looming and no safe path forward. In a place where life is already fragile, the youngest are now paying the ultimate price for the world’s indifference.
