More than 100 aid agencies and rights groups have issued a warning that mass starvation is spreading throughout Gaza, urging Israel to lift restrictions on humanitarian aid. The joint statement follows international condemnation of the limited aid reaching civilians, with reports of a sharp rise in acute malnutrition and adults collapsing from hunger. Aid deliveries have been severely restricted, and agencies say they are blocked from reaching those in need, including their own staff. Israel maintains that it is preventing aid from being diverted and blames distribution issues on the United Nations, while aid groups insist they have the capacity to respond if granted access.
