A United Nations-supported organization has officially declared a famine in Gaza City, following nearly two years of ongoing conflict. The group cautions that the famine could extend to additional regions of the territory by September's end. The United Nations attributes the crisis to Israel's persistent blocking of humanitarian aid, though Israel disputes the existence of a famine.
