‘Only 10 percent of baby formulas, supplements needed in Gaza allowed by Israel’: Analysis

Amjad Shawa, director of the Palestinian NGOs Network, described Gaza’s starvation crisis as "a package of suffering" during an Al Jazeera interview. Over 100 children have died from acute malnutrition, with 55,000 infants lacking milk and 350,000 under-fives at risk. He condemned Israel’s aid restrictions, noting only 10% of needed supplies enter, while diseases spread due to polluted water and collapsed sanitation. Recent small aid increases are "death traps", he argued, designed to forcibly displace Palestinians. Gaza requires 1,000 daily trucks—not the current 80—to avert famine. Without urgent action, he warned, conditions will worsen as Israel blocks tents, food, and NGO access. "This is pure starvation," he said, demanding accountability.
