Residents of northern Gaza are experiencing severe famine as Israel continues to block humanitarian aid, including food and water, amid its ongoing offensive. The blockade has lasted for four months, leading to critical food shortages affecting more than 2 million people. UN officials have warned of an impending famine, and the constant bombardment has severely hindered food distribution, with people risking dying of hunger just miles from food trucks. Journalists report that Palestinians have resorted to baking bread from animal feed due to the lack of flour. The charity that provided rice meals to displaced individuals has stopped its aid, and journalists have been unable to find canned food in Jabalia. The Israeli army has also been reported to open fire at hungry citizens waiting for food trucks, causing deaths and injuries. The Government Media Office in Gaza has declared a genuine famine and holds Israel and its allies responsible for the starvation of 400,000 Palestinians.
