Gaza on brink of catastrophe as aid runs out and prices soar, groups warn | Israel-Gaza war

The escalating prices of basic food items, dwindling medical supplies, and significant cuts to aid in Gaza are creating dire humanitarian conditions, warn Palestinians and international officials. Humanitarian organizations have exhausted their food stocks, leaving community kitchens to serve reduced portions and threatening starvation for many. With Israel’s blockade preventing aid entry and hospitals overwhelmed, the situation is deteriorating rapidly, with the UN reporting a surge in acute malnutrition among children and rising civilian death tolls from ongoing conflict.
