A senior United Nations official who visited Gaza over the weekend says that "half the population is starving" there.

International aid charities have raised the alarm about an “apocalyptic” situation in the Gaza Strip amid Israel’s long-running brutal aggression on the besieged territory.

The UN’s World Food Program warns that Palestinians in Gaza are facing starvation as food and water have become “practically non-existent.”

Starvation has killed about 500 children in Sudan since the conflict began four months ago, Save the Children says.

The ruling military council and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have been engaged in clashes since April 15.

Local conflict and weather extremes remain the primary drivers of acute hunger.

Some 22 million people are at risk of starvation in the drought-ravaged Horn of Africa, the UN warns.

A new UN report says more than nineteen million Yemenis are now going hungry.

The World Food Programme (WFP) says 1.7 million people are at risk of starvation in South Sudan as it has to suspend planned aid for the people of the world’s youngest country due to the current crisis in Ukraine.

The United Nations has warned that 350,000 children are at risk of starvation.
