Kids in Gaza are being starved to death


This is one of the world’s worst hunger crises, unfolding in real time.”

– World Health Organization (12th May 2025)

Nearly 900 desperate and hungry Gazans have been killed in recent weeks trying to fetch food, with most deaths linked to private aid hubs run by the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)
-the UN human rights office, OHCHR

As of May 2025, the IPC projects that by September

  • the whole territory is classified in Emergency (IPC Phase 4)
  • the entire population expected to face Crisis or worse acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above)

This includes:

  • 470,000 people in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) (22% of population)
  • over a million people in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) (54% of population)
  • the remaining half million in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) (24% of population)

Gaza Strip: Acute Food Insecurity Situation for 1 April – 10 May 2025 and Projection for 11 May – 30 September 2025

Only an immediate ceasefire and the allowance of humanitarian aid delivery can stop Israel from starving Palestinian children, women, civilian, and aid workers to death.

What can YOU do?

  • Call your MPs and MLAs and DEMAND they pressure the Israeli government to end the forced starvation of the Palestinian People.
  • Join protests in your area, and use your voice to speak up and bring awareness to the war crimes that are happening right now
  • Bang pots and pans from your front lawn or balcony everyday to let the world know that this is not okay.
Sanctions on Israel now!
