Gaza Breaking: Israel Accused of Firing on Starving Civilians |UN Slams Aid Blockade, Demands Action

More than 580 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,200 injured while standing in line for humanitarian aid in Gaza, according to the latest data from the Gaza Media Office. Eyewitness reports and Israeli media reveal shocking claims that IDF soldiers were ordered to fire on unarmed, starving civilians—men, women, and children—desperate for food. The UN has condemned the US-Israel airdrop system as a “death trap”, calling it a catastrophic failure of humanitarian response. A new study, led by the University of London and Palestinian scholars, reveals that nearly 100,000 people have died since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza—most from airstrikes, many from starvation and disease. This video unpacks the systematic targeting of civilians, the crumbling infrastructure, and the global silence in the face of a growing humanitarian catastrophe. Rights groups are calling this a modern genocide.
