Famine in Gaza is severe, with over 1,000 deaths from starvation since late May, including many children. Malnutrition is widespread, soup kitchens are depleted, and food prices are unaffordable. Aid is insufficient, with families surviving on minimal or no food, and hospitals overwhelmed by starvation cases.
