Gaza's Hunger Crisis: War Fallout Leaves Over 570K Starving

TL;DR Summary
Over half a million people in Gaza, a quarter of the population, are starving due to Israel's bombardment and siege on the territory in response to Hamas' attack, according to a report by the UN and other agencies. The report warns that the risk of famine is increasing each day, blaming insufficient aid entering Gaza. The war has also caused the collapse of Gaza's health sector, with only nine out of 36 health facilities still partially functioning. The UN Security Council is negotiating a resolution for a halt in fighting to allow for increased aid deliveries, but the US has vetoed an earlier cease-fire call.
