122 Palestinians, including 83 children, killed by starvation in Gaza — Hodhod Yemen News Agency
Prove it.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The corpse count from starvation in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
has risen to 122, including 83 children, according to the Paleostinian Ministry of Health, as the humanitarian crisis deepens under the ongoing Israeli siege.

Nine more Paleostinians died of starvation and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, the ministry reported Friday. Government officials described the situation as a ''systematic crime of starvation'' perpetrated by the Israeli occupation army against more than 2.4 million besieged civilians over the past 145 days.

The Gaza Government Media Office (GMO) called for an immediate end to the famine and demanded the urgent entry of humanitarian aid, including baby formula, 500 aid trucks, and 50 fuel trucks daily, to prevent further loss of life.

The GMO urged the international community to form an independent commission to investigate Israel's use of starvation as a weapon and prosecute those responsible.

The view from Israel:
As 9 more Gazans said to die of hunger, Israel approves resumption of aid airdrops

[IsraelTimes] MSF: Quarter of screened young children and breastfeeding mothers are malnourished; COGAT insists no widespread famine, but admits problems delivering food to certain Gaza areas

..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
-run health ministry reported Friday that nine more Paleostinians, including two children, had died over the past 24 hours due to complications from severe malnutrition, further raising fears of a spiraling humanitarian crisis in the Strip.

In the past three weeks, at least 56 people died of causes related to malnutrition, including 35 adults and 22 children, the ministry said. That’s up from 10 children who died from such causes during all five previous months of 2025, according to the ministry.

Medical non-profit Doctors Without Borders said a quarter of all young children or breastfeeding women screened at its clinics in the Strip last month were malnourished.

For their part, Israeli authorities continued to maintain on Friday that while the humanitarian situation in Gaza is difficult, there is no widespread famine.

Still, in an apparent recognition of the dire situation, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities announced that it would begin allowing the UAE and Jordan to resume airdrops of humanitarian supplies into Gaza.

Last year, the US military, in coordination with Jordan, Egypt and La Belle France, airdropped tens of thousands of meals into northern Gaza, although a malfunction in March 2024 killed five Paleostinians. The method of aid distribution is far more limited in scope, while costing more money to conduct, leading many international organizations to argue that scaling up other, more traditional mechanisms would be a more effective way to address the humanitarian crisis.

COGAT said it continuously assesses the situation in Gaza and, alongside humanitarian aid groups, works to identify "pockets" facing food access challenges to assist those areas.

According to COGAT’s assessments, "there is no famine in the Gaza Strip," however, it acknowledged that "there are issues of access to food."

COGAT claimed that images being circulated by Hamas and media outlets of malnourished children in Gaza are not indicative of a widespread phenomenon: "There is no documented famine, contrary to the false claims Hamas spreads systematically."

The humanitarian situation in Gaza has tanked recently, COGAT assessed, mainly because the IDF is now in control of 75% of the Strip’s territory. This means that Gaza’s estimated 2 million population has been squeezed into just 25% of the Strip, which has led to several issues, especially concerning sanitation.

Additionally, actions taken by Israel to limit Hamas’s "takeover" of the humanitarian aid — such as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution sites — have harmed the terror group’s military wing, governance and its ties with the civilian population, according to COGAT’s assessments.

However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
these "achievements" have led to extreme population density, chaos and the collapse of public order in Gaza. As a result, "the humanitarian situation becomes far more complex," COGAT said.

Critics have long argued that the chaotic-like situation was inevitable because Israel has refused to establish a viable alternative to Hamas. Arab states have backed allowing the Paleostinian Authority to play a role in Gaza, even agreeing to join the effort to stabilize the Strip if Israel agreed to that condition. But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, under pressure from far-right coalition partners who oppose the PA, has long refused, likening Ramallah to Hamas.

COGAT claimed Friday that there is no shortage of water entering Gaza, and that food and other supplies should now be reaching Paleostinians at an increased rate since the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
began transporting aid that had been mounting at the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings.

On Sunday, the UN did not collect any aid waiting at the Gaza crossings, leading Israel to publicly accuse the organization of refusing to cooperate. In the past two days, the UN resumed regular operations and collected 270 trucks’ worth of aid for distribution, according to COGAT figures.

The UN has repeatedly claimed that COGAT has refused its requests for collection and distribution authorization, and that dangerous and complex conditions inside Gaza made aid distribution very difficult.

UK, FRANCE, GERMANY: GAZA ’HUMANITARIAN CATASTROPHE’ MUST END
Meanwhile,
...back at the desert island, Bert climbed the cocoanut tree, looking for ships. He saw none. He looked in the other direction and saw Irene, vigorously scrubbing her backside...
on Friday, the leaders of Britannia, La Belle France and Germany said in a joint statement that the "humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza "must end now" and that "the time has come" for Israel’s war against Hamas in the Strip to end.

"We call on the Israeli government to immediately lift restrictions on the flow of aid and urgently allow the UN and humanitarian NGOs to carry out their work in order to take action against starvation," said British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in a joint statement.

"The most basic needs of the civilian population, including access to water and food, must be met without any further delay," they say. "Withholding essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable."

"Israel must uphold its obligations under international humanitarian law," they added.

The European leaders also stressed that "the time has come to end the war in Gaza."

"We urge all parties to bring an end to the conflict by reaching an immediate ceasefire," they add. "We stand ready to take further action to support an immediate ceasefire and a political process that leads to lasting security and peace for Israelis, Paleostinians and the entire region."

Hours later, US President Trump claimed that the US donated $60 billion for Gaza humanitarian aid, in an apparent reference to the $30 million that the US has allocated to the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

"We hope the money gets there because that money gets taken, the food gets taken," Trump told news hounds, adding that the US will still give more money.

He claimed that the majority of aid for Gaza comes from the US and that "no other country other than us gives anything."

As of early this year, the UAE was behind nearly half of the aid going into Gaza, while the US support was closer to one-third.
