Aid groups warn that ‘mass starvation’ is spreading in Gaza | BBC News

Descripción:

More than 100 aid agencies, including Save the Children and Médecins Sans Frontières, have warned that mass starvation is spreading across Gaza in a joint statement. "Palestinians are trapped in a cycle of hope and heartbreak, waiting for assistance and ceasefires, only to wake up to worsening conditions," the statement says. On Tuesday, the Hamas‑run health ministry in Gaza said that 33 people had died of malnutrition in 48 hours. Israel has acknowledged a significant drop in supplies reaching Gazans, but its officials say the food is there and have blamed aid agencies for not getting it to Gazans.
