"Famine Looms in Gaza as Political Struggles Intensify"

Israeli officials have announced plans to deprive Gaza's civilian population of basic needs, including water, electricity, and fuel, following Hamas's attack. The ongoing conflict has resulted in extensive aerial bombing, killing and injuring thousands, and destroying civilian infrastructure. Aid deliveries remain blocked, and Israel has systematically attacked health care facilities, leading to a dire humanitarian crisis. The UN has warned of an imminent famine affecting 70% of northern Gaza's population, with malnutrition among children reaching unprecedented levels. Israel's long-standing policies have contributed to the current food insecurity crisis in Gaza.
