Gaza faces ‘critical’ famine risk, experts say, as Israel blocks aid

The Gaza Strip faces an urgent food crisis, with one in five Gazans at risk of starvation and the territory on the brink of famine. Israel's aid blockade has exacerbated the situation, leading to widespread hunger, malnutrition, and alarming incidents of looting among civilians seeking survival. International organizations have condemned the blockade as cruel collective punishment, while experts warn that the humanitarian crisis is worsening rapidly.
