The number of people who have died from starvation in Gaza has climbed to 193, according to the territory’s Health Ministry.
Officials confirmed five additional hunger-related deaths in the last 24 hours, underscoring the worsening humanitarian crisis triggered by Israel’s ongoing military operations and the blockade of essential supplies.
Human rights groups and aid agencies have repeatedly warned of famine-like conditions in parts of Gaza due to the restricted access to food, water, and medical aid.
The situation remains dire as international calls grow louder for urgent humanitarian relief and a ceasefire to prevent further civilian suffering.
