Gaza Faces Severe Hunger Risk
An international report has warned that two-thirds of the Gaza Strip population, approximately 1.4 million people, will face severe hunger levels by the end of 2026, due to a decline in humanitarian aid and funding shortages. The past few months saw a temporary improvement in malnutrition levels following the ceasefire in October 2025, but this improvement is fragile and could regress as dependence on aid remains high, and the economy and infrastructure continue to deteriorate. The report emphasized that shortages of food, water, and healthcare services are threatening residents' lives, with an expected increase in those suffering from extreme hunger. The situation has worsened due to the destruction caused by the war, compounded by Israel's restrictions on aid entry. Israel denies imposing food restrictions, while UN organizations warn that water networks are approaching collapse, heightening risks of disease and further deterioration of the food and health situation in the Gaza Strip.
