More than 100 aid organisations warned on Wednesday of “mass starvation” across Gaza, with their staff severely affected by widespread shortages. Israel is under mounting international pressure as the humanitarian crisis in the enclave worsens, with more than 2 million people enduring 21 months of conflict.
In a statement, 111 organisations, including Mercy Corps, the Norwegian Refugee Council, Refugees International, Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Save the Children and Oxfam, said mass starvation was spreading – even as tonnes of food, clean water and medical supplies sit untouched just outside Gaza, with aid groups blocked from accessing them.
