Starvation in Gaza Is Not a Threat—It’s Happening Now 7/26/2025

              Starvation in Gaza Is Not a Threat—It’s Happening Now

The world’s conscience must be shaken by this undeniable truth: children in Gaza are not merely hungry—they are starving to death. In July alone, at least 48 people, including 20 children, died from hunger-related causes, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Local hospitals are overwhelmed. Doctors Without Borders reports that cases of severe malnutrition among children under five have tripled in two weeks. This is not a looming famine. It is an ongoing, man-made catastrophe.
Despite Israel’s claims that aid is flowing, the reality is crueler. Aid is severely restricted, funneled through militarized and perilous checkpoints where more than 1,000 Palestinians have died trying to reach food. Israel’s siege, combined with the decimation of Gaza’s food systems, has created a hellscape where humanitarian workers are blocked and journalists are themselves wasting away.
Children are dying not of preexisting illness but of pure, preventable starvation. Nearly 100,000 women and children are now acutely malnourished. This is not collateral damage. It is the predictable result of policy decisions.
Famine has not been officially declared—because it is nearly impossible to meet the technical thresholds under siege. But let’s be clear: Gaza is already in the grip of famine by any moral measure.
The use of starvation as a weapon is a war crime under international law. The United States, Europe, and every nation that claims to champion human rights must speak and act forcefully. Silence is complicity.
Stop the siege. Flood Gaza with food, water, and medicine. And stop arming those who use hunger as a tool of war.
