'Our children are dying slowly': Gaza father searches for food
Small children, squashed at the front, are in tears. One of them holds up a plastic basin hoping for some ladles of soup. Haw pushes forward in the scrum until he receives his share.
Haw does this every day because he fears his children are starving. He sets out through the ruins of Jabalia in northern Gaza in search of food, waiting in panicked crowds for up to six hours to get barely enough to feed his family.
Some days he gets lucky and can find lentil soup. Other days he returns empty-handed.
'I have a sick daughter. I can't provide her with anything. There is no bread, there is nothing,' said Haw, 39. 'I'm here since eight in the morning, just to get one plate for six people while it is not enough for one person.'
Israel has blocked the entry of medical, food and fuel supplies into Gaza since the start of March, prompting international experts to warn of looming famine in the besieged enclave that is home to 2.3-million Palestinians.

Starvation crisis in Gaza: Aid workers join the food lines
Palestinian children wait for a meal at a charity kitchen in the Mawasi area of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip. Image: AFP As the Israeli government's siege starves the people of Gaza, Palestine, aid workers are now joining the same food lines, risking being shot just to feed their families. With supplies now totally depleted, humanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes. Exactly two months since the Israeli government-controlled scheme, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, began operating, more than 100 organisations including Doctors Without Borders (MSF), are sounding the alarm, urging governments to act: open all land crossings; restore the full flow of food, clean water, medical supplies, shelter items, and fuel through a principled, UN-led mechanism; end the siege; and agree to a ceasefire now. 'Each morning, the same question echoes across Gaza: will I eat today?' said one agency representative. Massacres at food distribution sites in Gaza are occurring near-daily. As of July 13, the UN confirmed 875 Palestinians were killed while seeking food, 201 on aid routes and the rest at distribution points. Thousands more have been injured. Meanwhile, Israeli forces have forcibly displaced nearly two million exhausted Palestinians with the most recent mass displacement order issued on July 20, confining Palestinians to less than 12% of Gaza. The World Food Programme warns that current conditions make operations untenable. "The starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is a war crime," the organisations said. Just outside Gaza, in warehouses - and even within Gaza itself - tonnes of food, clean water, medical supplies, shelter items and fuel sit untouched, with humanitarian organisations blocked from accessing or delivering them. The organisations said that the Government of Israel's restrictions, delays, and fragmentation under its total siege have created chaos, starvation, and death. An aid worker providing psychosocial support spoke of the devastating impact on children: 'Children tell their parents they want to go to heaven, because at least heaven has food.' Doctors are reporting record rates of acute malnutrition, especially among children and older people. Illnesses like acute watery diarrhoea are spreading, markets are empty, waste is piling up, and adults are collapsing on the streets from hunger and dehydration, the organisations detailed. Distributions in Gaza average just 28 trucks a day, far from enough for over two million people, many of whom have gone weeks without assistance. 'The UN-led humanitarian system has not failed, it has been prevented from functioning. Humanitarian agencies have the capacity and supplies to respond at scale. But, with access denied, we are blocked from reaching those in need, including our own exhausted and starved teams.' 'On July 10, the European Union and Israel announced steps to scale up aid. But these promises of 'progress' ring hollow when there is no real change on the ground. Every day without a sustained flow means more people dying of preventable illnesses. Children starve while waiting for promises that never arrive.' The organisations said Palestinians are trapped in a cycle of hope and heartbreak, waiting for assistance and ceasefires, only to wake up to worsening conditions. 'It is not just physical torment, but psychological. Survival is dangled like a mirage. The humanitarian system cannot run on false promises. Humanitarians cannot operate on shifting timelines or wait for political commitments that fail to deliver access.' 'Governments must stop waiting for permission to act. We cannot continue to hope that current arrangements will work. It is time to take decisive action: demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire; lift all bureaucratic and administrative restrictions; open all land crossings; ensure access to everyone in all of Gaza; reject military-controlled distribution models; restore a principled, UN-led humanitarian response, and continue to fund principled and impartial humanitarian organisations. States must pursue concrete measures to end the siege, such as halting the transfer of weapons and ammunition.' The organisations emphasised that piecemeal arrangements and symbolic gestures, like airdrops or flawed aid deals, serve as a smokescreen for inaction. They cannot replace states' legal and moral obligations to protect Palestinian civilians and ensure meaningful access at scale. 'States can and must save lives before there are none left to save.'

Many of my staff can't work because they are starving, says Gaza City hospital director
Dr Mohammed Abu Salmiya has urged the international community to force Israel to end its blockade and ensure the safe entry of food, fuel and medical supplies into Gaza. The director of Gaza's largest hospital said on Thursday, 24 July, that many of his colleagues had been admitted to hospital in the past 48 hours because of severe malnutrition, as starvation grips the region. Dr Mohammed Abu Salmiya, the director of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, told Daily Maverick through text and voice notes that his medical staff were 'exhausted', 'malnourished' and hungry because they had not eaten for 48 hours, and were still 'working under severe pressure' to 'save injured people'. 'Our staff should be working to save these patients, but they are … severely suffering from hunger, and we [have admitted] many of our doctors and nurses to hospital because [they are] severely malnourished. 'The last time I had something to eat was the night before last,' he said. As he spoke, the sound of sirens could be heard echoing in the background of Abu Salmiya's voice notes. On Wednesday, 23 July, the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, said Palestinians in the Gaza Strip were suffering mass starvation caused by Israel's blockade of aid into the region. 'I don't know what you would call it other than mass starvation, and it's man-made, and that's very clear,' Ghebreyesus told a virtual press conference from Geneva, Switzerland. 'This is because of the blockade.' Ghebreyesus' speech came after more than 100 international aid organisations and human rights groups, including Oxfam, Save the Children and Doctors Without Borders, warned on Wednesday that 'mass starvation' was spreading across Gaza, as a result of Israel's siege of humanitarian aid. The groups said that their aid supplies in Gaza had been exhausted. 'Just outside Gaza, in warehouses — and even within Gaza itself — tons of food, clean water, medical supplies, shelter items and fuel sit untouched, with humanitarian organisations blocked from accessing or delivering them. The government of Israel's restrictions, delays, and fragmentation under its total siege have created chaos, starvation and death,' said the organisations in a joint statement. At least 115 Palestinians have died of starvation in Gaza, including 80 children, according to a report from Al Jazeera. Since Hamas' 7 October 2023 assault on Israel, in which at least 1,200 people were killed and more than 200 hostages taken, Israel has killed more than 58,000 people, according to Palestinian health authorities. After a two-month ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas collapsed in March, Israel implemented a total blockade on aid, which pushed Palestinians to the verge of famine. Since May, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a private US and Israeli-backed group, has managed a new system in which Palestinians go to a few aid distribution hubs at prearranged times for aid. According to the United Nations (UN), more than 800 people have been killed by Israeli forces while seeking to retrieve aid since the GHF began operations. 'I haven't seen this before in my life' Speaking to Daily Maverick from Al-Shifa Hospital, Abu Salmiya said the hospital was receiving 'hundreds of patients' daily, suffering from severe malnutrition. These are people of all ages, according to Abu Salmiya, including pregnant women, children, the elderly and the critically ill. He said the hospital was able to treat them only with limited IV fluids. 'We don't have medicine, we don't have drugs, we don't have medical supplies to treat these patients with nutritional supplements. 'Some of these patients that are coming to our hospital are dying, and we are not able to do anything to save them. 'One patient came to our hospital severely dehydrated, with sunken eyes … severely tired — just bone and skin. I haven't seen this before in my life,' he said. Abu Salmiya urged the international community to force Israel to end the blockade and ensure the safe entry of food, fuel and medical supplies to protect Palestinians in Gaza. 'Starvation must never be used as a weapon of war. The people of Gaza have a right to [a] life with dignity,' he said. He added that his family was suffering from extreme hunger too. His sons, he said, plead with him: 'Papa, we need bread. Papa, we need some food.'

Israeli strike kills hungry Gaza family in their sleep
The Al-Shaer family went to bed hungry at their home in Gaza City. An Israeli air strike killed them in their sleep. The family — freelance journalist Wala al-Jaabari, her husband and their five children — were among more than 100 people killed in 24 hours of Israeli strikes or gunfire, according to health officials. Their corpses lay in white shrouds outside their bombed home on Wednesday with their names scribbled in pen. Blood seeped through the shrouds as they lay there, staining them red. 'This is my cousin. He was 10. We dug them out of the rubble,' Amr al-Shaer, holding one of the bodies after retrieving it. Iman al-Shaer, another relative who lives nearby, said the family hadn't eaten anything before the bombs came down. 'The children slept without food,' he said. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the strike at the family's home, but said its air force had struck 120 targets throughout Gaza in the past day, including 'terrorist cells, military structures, tunnels, booby-trapped structures, and additional terrorist infrastructure sites'. Relatives said some neighbours were spared only because they had been out searching for food at the time of the strike. Ten more Palestinians died overnight from starvation, the Gaza health ministry said, bringing the total number of people who have starved to death to 111, most of them in recent weeks as a wave of hunger crashes on the Palestinian enclave. The World Health Organisation said on Wednesday 21 children under the age of five were among those who died of malnutrition so far this year. It said it had been unable to deliver any food for nearly 80 days between March and May and that a resumption of food deliveries was still far below what is needed.
