The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached a breaking point, with the UN declaring the situation 'beyond catastrophic' as only 1.5% of farmland remains usable amid ongoing conflict. With food prices skyrocketing and malnutrition deaths rising, the region teeters on the edge of a 'full-scale famine,' according to a new UN report. 🚨
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
UN agencies report that 200 people – half of them children – have died from malnutrition-related causes in recent weeks. Basic foods like sugar now cost $170 for a 57-gram bag, while eggs and meat have vanished from markets. Aid convoys face deadly risks, and Israel continues to restrict medical access, worsening the toll.
Farmland Destruction Reaches Critical Levels
A satellite survey reveals 86% of Gaza's farmland is damaged, leaving just 2.3 square kilometers viable for crops. FAO Director-General Qu Dongyu stressed: 'People are starving because access is blocked… families can’t sustain basic livelihoods.' The UN urges immediate action to restore food production and humanitarian access.
As the world watches, Gaza’s future hangs in the balance. 🌍 Will global leaders step up before it’s too late?
