Over 100 humanitarian and rights groups, including MSF, Save the Children, and Oxfam, have warned of mass starvation in Gaza, with people and aid workers "wasting away." Gaza's health ministry reported 43 malnutrition-related deaths since Sunday. The UN says nearly 100,000 women and children suffer from severe acute malnutrition. With aid blocked, markets bare, and prices soaring, doctors report children dying from starvation. Aid groups blame Israel’s blockade and accuse it of killing over 1,050 Palestinians seeking food. Israel denies targeting civilians and blames UN agencies for delivery failures, despite 4,500 lorries entering Gaza over two months, including baby food. (PC: BBC)
