The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached a catastrophic turning point as health authorities report at least 370 lives lost to starvation and malnutrition since the beginning of the current conflict. Among the victims are 131 children, with three new hunger-related deaths recorded in the past 24 hours alone.  

UNICEF has issued a grave warning about the rapidly deteriorating conditions, noting that thousands of children now suffer from severe acute malnutrition with no adequate medical intervention available. A spokesperson for the organization stated bluntly, "The international community has failed Gaza's children. The world has turned its back as the most vulnerable pay the ultimate price."  

Despite limited aid efforts, systematic restrictions on food and medical supplies have created what humanitarian groups describe as a man-made famine. With supply routes severely constrained and infrastructure decimated, families are increasingly forced to survive on less than 3% of the daily water and calorie intake recommended for basic survival. Local sources confirm that children are now dying from dehydration and hunger-related complications at a rate not seen in modern conflict zones.
