The number of people who have starved to death is thus increasing to 180 people, among them 93 children. However, the information has not been able to be verified by independent parties, since Israel does not allow international journalists to report from Gaza.
The famine in Gaza is described by aid organizations as entirely man-made, since Israel does not allow international organizations to deliver sufficient emergency aid to the population.
In recent weeks, up to 900 people have been killed at locations where supplies are being distributed by the heavily criticized Israeli-American organization Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
According to testimonies, indiscriminate fire has been opened against the hungry crowds on several occasions. GHF, and Israel's military, claim that they have only fired warning shots.
