The UN’s Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), Jamie McGoldrick, stated after a two-day visit to the war-torn Gaza that “Hunger has reached catastrophic levels.” “Children are dying from hunger,” he said via videolink to reporters in New York, amid reports from the media that at least 20 children—including a 14-day-old baby—have perished in the besieged and battered enclave due to starvation. He demanded a strategy to deal with the situation and stated that one of the first things that needed to be done was to allow at least 300 relief trucks per day to use a military route to enter northern Gaza. Ever since the Israeli invasion started on October 7, the enclave’s hunger has increased dramatically.
