The US State Department has warned that famine is likely already present in parts of northern Gaza, with other areas at risk of starvation. The international community has raised concerns that Israel’s military actions in the region have contributed to the dire humanitarian situation. Efforts to deliver aid are being hindered, despite promises of a maritime aid corridor. The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to admit humanitarian assistance, emphasizing the urgent need to address the worsening crisis. Israel is facing accusations of obstructing food aid to Gaza’s population, prompting calls for an immediate ceasefire and increased humanitarian access to the region.
