According to UNICEF (7/27/25):The entire population of over 2 million people in Gaza is severely food insecure. One out of every three people has not eaten for days, and 80% of all reported deaths by starvation are children. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, at least 147 Gazans have died from malnutrition since the start of Israel’s post–October 7 assault. Jack Mirkinson’s Discourse Blog (7/28/25) quoted Refugees International president Jeremy Konyndyk:I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality…. The conditions of famine have been out in the open for well over a year, and yet it was considered barely newsworthy in US news media.
