Over 100 people, including children have died from famine and malnutrition in Gaza. Virtually the entire population of Gaza, about 2.1 to 2.3 million people, is experiencing acute food insecurity and is at high risk of death without urgent aid access. They demand immediate ceasefire and humanitarian access to open land crossings. The Israeli government rejects blame, accusing Hamas of obstructing aid. Meanwhile, France and other EU leaders place the responsibility on Israel’s blockade. Global protests are erupting in solidarity with Palestinians.
