The UN has declared Gaza as the hungriest place on Earth, warning that its entire population is at risk of famine. Jens Laerke from the UN highlighted the severe challenges faced in delivering aid due to blockades and security issues, with only a fraction of humanitarian trucks successfully offloaded. Meanwhile, Israel's UN ambassador criticized the UN's representation of the situation, asserting that Israel is committed to ensuring aid reaches civilians. Amid this crisis, incidents of looting essential medical supplies have further worsened the plight of the already vulnerable population.
Gaza is the only defined area where the entire population is at risk of famine, according to the UN. This is an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
