Gaza Faces Starvation as Strikes Continue Amid Stalled Ceasefire Talks
People in Gaza are facing starvation due to the ongoing conflict.
Many organizations and health experts say that a blockade by Israel and constant airstrikes are making it difficult to get food and aid to the people.
There are reports of many children suffering from malnutrition, and many have died.
The two sides are discussing a ceasefire where hostages would be released in phases and more aid would be allowed in.
Both Israel and Hamas have different viewpoints.
Israel says it is allowing enough aid to enter and blames the UN for delivery issues, while Hamas has said it will only release the remaining hostages for a lasting ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal.
Over 100 groups say Israel's blockade causes starvation in Gaza amid ongoing military strikes.
Israeli strikes reportedly killed 29 people overnight; at least 21 children under 5 have died this year.
WHO reports acute malnutrition rates exceeding 10% in Gaza; over 20% of pregnant/breastfeeding women are malnourished.
Ceasefire talks are ongoing, with a possible deal involving hostage release and increased aid.
Both sides disagree on aid delivery, casualties, and the war's justification.
