Gaza is now faced with her fiercest fight: absolute hunger.
There is no food to buy even if you could allow you, people said to Tel Aviv Tribune.
Generalized hunger has been imposed by the Israeli army because it has restricted the entry of the aid for months and applied a food distribution system where people are slaughtered almost daily.
“This is one of the most … barbarians to kill,” Dr. James Smith, an emergency doctor who volunteered in Gaza, told Tel Aviv Tribune. “Famine is always something that is done by one person to another. It is intended to be extended and maximize suffering. ”
On July 29, the classification of the United Nations Integrated Food Security phase (IPC) issued its most serious warning to date: that “the worst case of famine is currently taking place in the Gaza Strip”.
The growing evidence shows an increase in death -related deaths. Famine thresholds for food consumption have been reached in most of Gaza and acute malnutrition in Gaza City.
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, so far, at least 180 people have died of famine, half of them, stressing the devastating of hunger on young people in Gaza.
According to the IPC, more than 20,000 children have been admitted for treatment for acute malnutrition between April and mid -July – more than 3,000 of them are seriously affected.
While starting to starve after being deprived of food for days, the body begins to break down its own muscles and other fabrics.
The metabolism slows down, the renal function is altered and the immune system vacillates, reducing the body’s ability to heal.
Essential organs such as heart and lungs become less effective. Muscles decrease and people feel weak. Finally, its ravaged protein stores, the body breaks down its fabrics as death approaches.
Help authorized to enter Gaza
Despite suffering, Israel only granted 36 assistance trucks to Gaza on Saturday, even though 22,000 loaded trucks remain level passages, waiting to enter, according to the government’s media office in Gaza.
Before October 2023, around 500 aid trucks entered Gaza daily – a number that has not been reached since.
In March, Israel completely blocked all outings and help, opening only for a tiny fraction of the necessary aid in the last two months.
Once food has been discharged in border detention areas, agencies must request the authorization of convoys to enter and distribute in Gaza.
But the approvals are incoherent. According to the World Food Program (WFP) of the United Nations, only 76 of the convoy requests out of 138 were approved between July 19 and 25.
After approval, convoys are often inactive for hours, waiting up to 46 hours for the final clearance to move, during which hungry civilians gather along the expected routes, in the hope of intercepting food.
Once on the road, the trip is slow and dangerous – it can take up to 12 hours to finish delivery due to checkpoints, security threats and reaches.
Convoists and civilians are faced with shooting Israeli elite shooters, drone surveillance and bombing. Only 60 drivers are approved to operate inside Gaza – far too little to meet the need.
Trucks are attacked by desperate people of help, creating a complicated and often violent situation for drivers and aid seekers.
On May 27, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), supported by the United States, began to work, the plan being that it would replace all the UN operations in Gaza.
However, he replaced a network of some 400 distribution points operated by the United Nations Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), with four “mega-site” in highly militarized areas right next to opening the combat areas.
Civilians who walk over long distances, spend nights in the open air and run a random shooting glove, find themselves fighting for pieces of food, if they are lucky.
Vulnerable groups – children, the elderly, injured and pregnant women – are also forced to make the perfidious GHF journey.
A former GHF goalkeeper, American veteran Anthony Aguilar, explained to Tel Aviv Tribune how a little boy he helped were captured as “pepper spray, tear gas, grenades and bullets” were slaughtered at the foot of the crowd of rescue seekers, killing the boy.
Israeli soldiers would have opened fire on the Palestinians gathering on GHF sites in the quasi-quotes.
As of August 5, at least 1,487 people were killed and 10,578 injured trying to perceive the help of the GHF.
Israel insists that GHF is necessary to prevent Hamas from stealing aid to Gaza.
However, the internal analysis of the US Agency for International Development has found no evidence of a generalized aid diversion by Hamas.
Israeli military officials also told the New York Times last week that they had no evidence that Hamas was systematically stolen from help.
Out of
Since the announcement of tactical breaks, countries like France, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates have tried to aerod aid to Gaza. A large part of it falls into dangerous or inaccessible areas and, in certain tragic cases, people were injured or killed trying to recover it.
In some cases, the aid falls into the sea and is damaged by salt water. In addition, several videos published by people from Gaza show aid in Airdropped which has been contaminated by MLUD.
UN agencies say that paratroopers are dangerous and insufficient and that Israel should allow much more help to Overland and allow Gaza to prevent its 2.2 million people from starving.
The Palestinians killed and hungry for more than 660 days
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed nearly 61,000 people, including at least 18,430 children, in his war against Gaza.
In February 2025, Lancet Medical Journal estimated that the number of deaths in Gaza from October 2023 to June 2024 was 40% higher than the figures provided by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, citing the fact that many people die outside of hospitals and are never recorded.
