Starvation is 'knocking on every door' in Gaza, as deaths from malnutrition soar
Over 100 people have died within days of each other from starvation in Gaza, according to health officials, as experts warn that one in four are facing famine-like conditions. Gaza's Health Ministry said on Tuesday that 101 people, including 80 children, had died in recent days from starvation. The ministry, which is part of the Hamas-run government and staffed by medical professionals, did not provide precise diagnoses, but people in hunger crises often die from a combination of malnutrition, illness and deprivation. The figures come as the United Nations Secretary General António Guterres warned that starvation is 'knocking on every door' in Gaza, as he called the situation a "horror show". Gaza's population is estimated to be around 2.1 million. World Food Programme assessments indicate that a quarter of the population is facing famine-like conditions, with almost 100,000 women and children suffering from severe acute malnutrition, and requiring treatment as soon as possible. A third of Gaza's population is estimated not go without food for multiple days in a row. Speaking at the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday, Guterres said: "We need look no further than the horror show in Gaza. In the level of death and destruction without parallel in recent times. "Malnourishment is soaring. Starvation is knocking on every door. Now we are seeing the last gasp of a humanitarian system built on humanitarian principles. "Around the world, we see an utter disregard for, if not (an) outright violation of, international law." UN officials, aid groups and experts have warned for months that Palestinians in Gaza are on the brink of famine, although difficulties with obtaining precise data have made agencies unable to decipher if they are already experiencing one. Israel eased an 11-week blockade on aid getting into the territory in May, but aid groups say only a trickle of assistance is getting into Gaza. The distribution of aid has been complicated by a controversial Israeli-backed US-run contractor called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), and a breakdown of law and order within the territory. Over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed trying to receive aid since the blockade was lifted, according to the UN human rights office. The majority of these have been in the vicinity of GHF sites, where 766 are reported to have been killed. The other deaths were around UN convoys or other aid sites. Witnesses to killings around aid sites often attribute them to Israeli fire, although Israeli forces state they have only fired warning shots around distribution areas. In a statement, GHF rejected what it said were 'false and exaggerated statistics' from the UN, saying the deadliest incidents have been linked to UN aid convoys. On Monday, Foreign Secretary David Lammy and his counterparts from 24 other nations, including France, Canada and Australia, urged Israel to lift restrictions on the flow of aid into Gaza in a joint statement, condemning the current aid model. He alleged a culture of 'just winging it' and said he was left 'traumatised' by some of what he witnessed. In a statement to ITV News, the GHF rejected the claims made by the contractor, adding: "It is an active war zone in Gaza. It's also one of the most complex operating environments in the world. The legacy models of aid delivery have failed to adequately meet the overwhelming needs of the population. "That's why GHF exists and why we are committed to constant innovation to meet President Trump's call for new, effective ways to get aid into Gaza while the UN's trucks get looted and overrun and their aid is not making it into the strip." Analysis of UN data by the charity Islamic Relief found that July has been the deadliest month in Gaza for 18 months, with one person dying every 12 minutes. The charity found that, on average, 119 Palestinians have been killed daily in July, the highest rate since January 2024, and more than 401 Palestinians a day have been wounded. Waseem Ahmad, Chief Executive of Islamic Relief Worldwide, says world leaders must urgently take action.'The rate of killing is accelerating every day that world leaders fail to act," he said. "We are witnessing people massacred just for trying to get food, water or medicine. We're seeing babies and young children starve to death because Israel is blocking humanitarian aid. "We're seeing starving families ordered to leave their homes, then bombed in the tents where they are told to shelter." Islamic Relief estimates that, in total, around 9% of Gaza's entire pre-war population have now been killed or wounded, with over 59,000 people dead and over 140,000 wounded - many with life-changing injuries such as loss of limbs.

At least 20 dead following latest Israel strikes on Gaza
The expansion of Israel's ground invasion comes as Israel and Hamas have been considering terms for a ceasefire for Gaza that would pause the fighting and free at least some hostages. The latest round of talks has dragged on for weeks with no signs of breakthrough, though negotiators have expressed optimism. With Israel expanding its control over large chunks of Gaza, an expected pullback of troops is a major point of contention in the talks. The Trump administration has been pushing Israel to wrap up the war and has shown signs of impatience. Smoke and flames erupt from an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City (Jehad Alshrafi/AP) On Monday, President Donald Trump's press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said Mr Trump was 'caught off guard' by a recent Israeli strike on a Catholic church in Gaza. Top Christian clergy visited that church last week and in a press conference Tuesday in Jerusalem called for the war to end. In the latest round of strikes, at least 12 people died when tents sheltering displaced people in the built-up, seaside Shati refugee camp on the western side of Gaza City, were hit, according to the city's Shifa Hospital, which received the casualties. The dead included three women and three children, Dr Mohamed Abu Selmiyah, director of the hospital told the Associated Press. Thirty-eight other Palestinians were wounded, he said. The strike tore apart tents, and left some of the dead lying on the ground, according to footage shared by the health ministry's ambulance and emergency service. An overnight strike that hit crowds of Palestinians waiting for aid trucks in Gaza City killed eight, hospitals said. At least 118 were wounded, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent. The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the strikes. Israel blames the deaths of Palestinian civilians on Hamas because the militants operate in densely populated areas. It accuses the group of prolonging the war because Hamas has not accepted Israel's terms for a ceasefire – including calls to give up power and disarm.

Edinburgh Festival faces new demands to drop Baillie Gifford
The Herald told last year how Baillie Gifford had more than £60 million worth of shares in the owner of Rosyth Dockyard in Fife, which has previously worked with state-owned Israeli arms manufacturers. Read more: The group, which has called on Scottish arts organisations to sign up to a cultural boycott of Israel, has suggested that the EIF is being 'funded by genocide' just days before the first performances are due to get underway. Baillie Gifford was dropped by the Edinburgh International Book Festival weeks before last year's event was due to be held following a prolonged campaign over the company's links with the fossil fuel industry. The Edinburgh International Festival was instigated in the aftermath of the Second World targeting of the EIF has emerged weeks after the festival backed an open letter from arts organisations across the UK warning of the impact of 'relentless negativity' over corporate sponsorship. Francesca Hegyi, chief executive of the EIF, has suggested there has been a 'wholescale collapse of arts sponsorship' since Baillie Gifford was targeted over its links with fossil fuel companies. Baillie Gifford is currently the biggest corporate backer of the EIF, which recently secured record Scottish Government of £11.75m for the next three years, compared to annual funding of more than £2.3m in recent years. In a statement launching the new campaign, the pro-Palestine group highlighted the EIF's support for Ukraine and Ukrainian companies following the invasion by Russia three years ago. At the time, the festival severed its links with the Russian conductor Valery Gergiev, who was made an honorary president of the event in 2011. The EIF also joined forces with the Scottish Government to stage a free concert by a newly-formed "Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra." [[Art]] Workers For [[Palestine]] has stepped up pressure on arts organisations in recent months, including the Glasgow Film Theatre and the Fruitmarket Gallery in [[Edinburgh]]. The Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow has been closed since a large-scale protest was staged on June 24. Its board and management have faced calls to resign over the handling of an "intended occupation" of part of the building, which saw the police called to break up the protest. The pro-Palestine group said: 'After nearly two years of meetings, emails, and statements our ask to the Edinburgh International Festival has changed. 'We are no longer asking the EIF to merely speak to Baillie Gifford. We are demanding they cut ties. Why? Because EIF refuses to act in good faith. "Their own letter to us shows this clearly: 'We do not intend to adopt public political positions on international conflicts.' 'But the EIF has previously taken political positions. They promoted Ukrainian work with hashtags, programming decisions and marketing campaigns. So why is Palestine the exception? 'They're not neutral — they're complicit. Baillie Gifford is one of the EIF's biggest funders. They invest in Babcock International, a UK arms company supplying Israel. 'In plain terms: Palestinian death is making Baillie Gifford rich. And the EIF chooses to accept that money. This is blood money. This is the profits of the Palestinian genocide being used for 'art.' 'Our updated demand: EIF must cut ties with Baillie Gifford. No more conversations. No more delay. "This is about the right to live — not institutional comfort. This is about Palestinian liberation." Baillie Gifford is one of the main supporters of the Fringe Society and the National Galleries of Scotland, which is working in partnership with the Edinburgh International Film Festival next month. Earlier this month the campaign group issued a statement warning Scottish arts organisations: "Transparency, accountability and ethical leadership are non-negotiable." The latest statement targeting the EIF states: "Art is never neutral. Art can either resist — or it can enable. "This is our collective call. This is our line in the sand. We will continue to support artists taking action. We will no longer spend unpaid energy convincing the EIF of the obvious. That art funded by genocide is artwashing.' A spokesperson for the Edinburgh International Festival said: "We share public concern about the ongoing violence in the Palestinian territories, and other areas enduring conflict. "The right to speak out, to demand change, and to protest these issues is fundamental to democracy. "The Edinburgh International Festival gives voice to artists for important ideas, questions and stories to be freely presented and debated with nuance and empathy. "Our 2025 programme tackles this and other important global issues head-on, from a range of perspectives. "Our responsibility is to ensure the future of the festival, so that we can continue to offer public benefit and offer audiences transformational experiences. "To do this we must secure funding from a balanced mix of public and private sources. "Support from long-standing donors such as Baillie Gifford enables us to sustain our artistic ambition, remain accessible to the widest possible audience, and contribute meaningfully to Scotland's cultural life. "Following a rigorous review, our board of trustees agreed to maintain the support from Baillie Gifford, which continues to endorse all that the festival does, from the August festival programme to our year-round work with Edinburgh's communities."
