The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has issued a stark warning, accusing Israeli authorities of deliberately starving civilians in the Gaza Strip, including over one million children.

According to Al-Qahera News, UNRWA said that the humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels, blaming Israeli-imposed restrictions and the ongoing blockade for preventing access to vital food, water, and medical supplies.

“Israeli authorities are starving civilians in Gaza. Among them are one million children,” the agency said, highlighting the devastating impact of months of conflict and siege on the enclave’s most vulnerable population.

The allegation comes amid mounting international concern over the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where health services have collapsed and food insecurity has become widespread. Aid agencies have repeatedly warned of the risk of famine and the urgent need for sustained humanitarian access.

Israeli officials have not yet responded to the latest accusation, but have previously maintained that aid deliveries are allowed through secure crossings and that Hamas is to blame for obstructing humanitarian efforts.

UNRWA and other international organizations continue to call for an immediate ceasefire and full access to deliver aid, warning that without urgent intervention, the situation could spiral into mass starvation and disease outbreaks.
