The situation in Gaza has reached a critical point as Israel continues to enforce a blockade, severely restricting the entry of food, aid, and medicine to the 2.3 million Palestinians living there. This has led to widespread famine across the region, with northern Gaza being the hardest hit, where over half a million residents are facing imminent death from starvation. Reports indicate that 1 in 6 children in north Gaza are severely malnourished, and there have been instances of Israeli soldiers stealing toys from displaced Palestinian children. In a span of 24 hours, 7 Palestinian infants died from malnutrition and starvation. Despite an International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling ordering Israel to allow urgently needed humanitarian aid to address the catastrophic conditions, aid has decreased, exacerbating the crisis. The number of trucks entering Gaza with essential supplies dropped to 93 between January 27 and February 21, 2024, from a higher count prior to the ICJ ruling. Israeli forces have been firing at civilians attempting to access food, with numerous reports of injuries and deaths, contributing to the nearly 30,000 people killed according to Gaza's health ministry. The deliberate action to delay aid convoys and the reduction in essential supplies have been criticized as acts of war crimes and violations of international law.
