The ongoing war in Gaza has devastated lives, particularly impacting children like five-month-old Siwar Ashour, who suffers from severe malnutrition and requires special formula amidst a dire food shortage. Despite being discharged from the hospital, Siwar’s condition remains precarious as her family struggles to find adequate supplies due to the ongoing Israeli blockade and military operations. While Israeli authorities claim there is no food shortage in Gaza, aid agencies and global leaders, including UN officials, contest these assertions, highlighting the urgent humanitarian crisis.
