"Gaza Residents Forced to Eat Animal Feed as Food Supplies Dwindle"

Aid convoys are increasingly restricted from entering the north of Gaza, leaving children without food for days and locals resorting to eating animal feed. The UN reports a dramatic increase in young children with acute malnutrition, with over half of aid missions to the north being refused access in January. Israeli troops are intervening more frequently in aid deliveries, and the risk of famine is increasing for the 300,000 people residing in the area. Israeli airstrikes have killed dozens in Rafah, and fears are mounting over the fate of more than one million displaced Palestinians. UNICEF warns against a military escalation in Rafah, saying thousands more could die in the violence or lack of essential services.
