Netanyahu’s Statement:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently claimed that “no one is starving” in Gaza, pushing back against international criticism of humanitarian conditions amid the ongoing conflict.
Data from aid organizations and eyewitness accounts sharply contradict this claim. Health workers and UN agencies report widespread malnutrition, especially among children, with some cases reaching famine-like severity.
Humanitarian groups cite limited access to northern Gaza, where food deliveries have been sporadic or blocked. The World Food Programme and other agencies have warned of “catastrophic hunger” in these areas.
Netanyahu’s remarks come as Israel faces mounting pressure over its military operations and blockade policies. Critics argue that denying the severity of the crisis undermines efforts to deliver aid and protect civilians.
