"UN Warns Over 1 Million in Gaza Face Starvation by Mid-July"

UN agencies warn that over 1 million Palestinians in Gaza could face the highest level of starvation by mid-July due to ongoing hostilities, heavy restrictions on humanitarian access, and the collapse of the local food system. The situation is particularly dire in northern Gaza, and aid distribution is severely hampered by ongoing fighting and Israeli restrictions. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification indicates that the number of people experiencing Phase 5 hunger could rise significantly, potentially impacting nearly half of Gaza's population.
