Topic Reading-Vol.4854-8/8/2025

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What ‘starvation’ really means, for the human body and for Gaza
The Gaza Strip is the smaller of the two Palestinian territories in the Southern Levant region, surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, Egypt, and Israel. An estimated two million people, mostly Muslims, live in the narrow 365 km2 area. Immediately after the Hamas-led attack on Israel in October 2023, Israel started attacking and invading the Gaza Strip. It killed tens of thousands of civilians and destroyed most dwellings, buildings, roads, and infrastructure, and made the area nearly uninhabitable. There are only three crossings in and out of Gaza, all of which are now controlled by Israel. Far less than the daily essentials needed, including water, food, and medicine, have been brought into the strip for the two million residents, journalists, medical staff, and aid workers. This man-made starvation, malnutrition, and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths, or famine, among everyone in Gaza. What does severe and prolonged starvation do to the body? What is starving to death like?
Read the article and learn how people in Gaza are suffering from man-made starvation.
