Israel's Starvation Policy Claims 122 Lives in Gaza, Mostly Children

At least 122 Palestinians, including more than 80 children, have died from starvation in Gaza as Israel's blockade and military offensive continue, according to Al Jazeera reports. Two infants were among the latest victims of the deepening humanitarian crisis.

The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza has reached alarming new levels, with malnutrition claiming the lives of two more babies on Saturday. This brings the total starvation death toll to 122 since Israel intensified its blockade and military operations in the territory.

Medical sources in Gaza report that over 80 children are among the victims of what humanitarian organisations describe as a man-made famine. The situation has deteriorated sharply in recent weeks, with hospitals overwhelmed by cases of severe malnutrition and dehydration.

In addition to starvation deaths, Israeli attacks on Saturday alone killed at least 25 people, including 13 civilians seeking humanitarian aid. A former US military contractor with GHF revealed that live ammunition and heavy weapons were being used against Palestinians attempting to access food supplies.

The United Nations has repeatedly warned of impending famine in Gaza, with over 90% of the population facing acute food insecurity. Aid organisations accuse Israel of systematically restricting food and medical supplies to the besieged enclave, a charge Israeli officials deny.

Meanwhile, international condemnation of Israel's policies continues to grow. Human rights groups have documented numerous cases of Israeli forces targeting aid distribution points and food convoys. The World Health Organization describes the situation as "the worst man-made humanitarian disaster in modern history."
