Aid Agencies Warn of Starvation Crisis in Gaza Amid Blockade
Gaza is facing a big problem where many people, especially kids, are starving because they can't get enough food.
Over 100 aid groups say this is happening because Israel is controlling what comes into Gaza and there's a blockade.
Doctors are seeing more and more sick people, and even children are dying.
Aid workers are also struggling to get food to those who need it.
Israel says it's letting aid in, but the UN says it's hard to get supplies to people because of problems getting permission and damaged roads.
The aid groups want a ceasefire and for restrictions to be lifted to get food to everyone.
Over 100 aid agencies warn of mass starvation in Gaza due to the Israeli blockade and military operations.
Doctors report increasing cases of malnutrition, with children dying of hunger and hospitals overwhelmed.
Aid workers are experiencing shortages alongside the population and facing danger while trying to help.
Israel, while denying responsibility, controls access and says it facilitates aid but faces UN challenges.
Aid agencies are calling for a ceasefire and the lifting of restrictions to enable aid distribution.
