The aid distribution system in Gaza has descended into chaos and bloodshed, with food convoys and distribution points turning into lethal zones under Israeli fire. Starvation is now being used as a weapon of war, leaving 2.3 million people trapped in a man-made catastrophe.

Families are forced to risk their lives for scraps of food, while hospitals, already overwhelmed and depleted, treat daily casualties from attacks near aid centres. Children suffer from acute malnutrition, and mothers have resorted to feeding their babies water in place of milk as shelves stand empty and supplies run out.

The sealed border crossings have halted the entry of food, medicine, and fuel, collapsing Gaza’s lifeline. Air-dropped aid has proven utterly inadequate against the scale of need, as hunger drives an entire population to desperation.

Without immediate action to open crossings and allow safe delivery of humanitarian aid by land, Gaza faces irreversible famine and mass death. The clock is running out, and every hour of inaction pushes this preventable disaster closer to its darkest outcome.
