💨 Abstract

In Gaza, Palestinians face an ongoing, politically motivated famine exacerbated by Israel's blockade. To combat extreme hunger, civilians resort to eating animal feed and scraps. UNRWA's Philippe Lazzarini states hunger is used as a weapon. 470,000 Gazans, about 22% of the population, are in a starvation phase requiring urgent aid, while over 116,000 metric tons of food await entry into Gaza.
