Health sources in Gaza report that at least 18 Palestinians have died from starvation in the last 24 hours.

The UN warned over a year ago that the Israeli enforced famine in Gaza was on the cusp of reaching phase 5 of the I.P.C.’s food insecurity metric. After a year of malnutrition and Israel’s outright cutting off of all access to food in March of 2025, the inevitable toll of starvation campaign has begun to surface.
