A joint statement from dozens of countries calls on Israel to lift restrictions on Gaza aid.

An Israeli minister rejects reports of famine in Gaza, contradicting UN agencies that warn the territory faces starvation under Israel’s strict aid blockade.

Gaza is already facing famine, but it has not been officially declared as Israel blocks aid agencies and prevents the UN from collecting needed data, says a leading famine expert.

Protesters in Paris are denouncing the humanitarian blockade imposed by Israel on Gaza, highlighting the severe impact on Palestinians, including military attacks and hunger due to restricted supplies.

The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization and the UN Satellite Center have assessed the severe impact of Israel's military actions on Gaza's agriculture and food security.

Israel's intentions are evident; there will be no permanent ceasefire and the genocide will continue with the ultimate goal of raising Gaza to the ground.

Israel has continued to obstruct the delivery of aid into Gaza amid its 7-month genocidal war on the besieged territory, using food as a tool to “pressure” and “blackmail” Palestinians, according to a rights group.
