A leading humanitarian figure has strongly criticized the Israeli government for its handling of the crisis in Gaza, accusing it of dishonesty regarding the scale of the humanitarian disaster. The condemnation follows reports of severe starvation and the deaths of hundreds of children as a result of the ongoing siege. Despite Israel's recent announcement of daily tactical pauses and proposed humanitarian corridors, critics argue these measures are insufficient and come too late. International pressure on Israel continues to mount as the situation in Gaza deteriorates.
