Famine Declared in Gaza Amid Rising Hunger Crisis
Saralnama

Famine has been declared in Gaza as of 22 Aug 2025. Over half a million people face severe hunger and starvation. The United Nations says this famine is man-made and caused by blocked food and aid supplies. Fighting and military actions have damaged farms and homes, making food scarce. UN agencies warn the famine will spread unless fighting stops and more help reaches people. Israel, as the occupying power, has duties to allow food and medical aid. Many people, especially children and the sick, suffer from lack of food. The situation is urgent and needs immediate global attention to save lives. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 01:34 IST; source: link)
