Gaza’s Children Are Dying of Hunger — The World Must Act
The hunger-related death toll in Gaza has now reached 154, including 89 children. These are not just statistics — they represent innocent lives lost to a man-made catastrophe. Starvation, especially among children, is not an unavoidable consequence of war. It is a deliberate outcome of policies that block food, water, and humanitarian aid from reaching those in desperate need.International law prohibits the use of starvation as a weapon of war, yet that is precisely what is happening. UN agencies and humanitarian organizations have repeatedly warned that famine conditions are spreading across Gaza. The most vulnerable — infants, toddlers, pregnant women — are dying of malnutrition, dehydration, and preventable infections.
This should outrage every moral conscience. The silence and inaction of world powers, especially those arming and funding Israel, make them complicit in this ongoing atrocity. If we claim to care about human rights, we must demand an immediate end to the blockade, a massive humanitarian airlift and aid operation, and accountability for those responsible for engineering famine.
The children of Gaza are not our enemies. They are victims. And they are dying while the world looks away.
Let us not say we didn’t know. Let us act before more lives are lost.
