Gaza famine: German doctors sound the alarm and call for urgent action

In an urgent humanitarian appeal, doctors working in Germany sent an open letter to the German authorities and the public, warning of the seriousness of the worsening humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, where more than half a million people are living under the threat of famine, according to the latest official report issued by the United Nations Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) Program.

The latest report issued by the program confirmed that more than half a million people are already suffering from famine, while hundreds of thousands more face severe levels of malnutrition. The most serious threat, according to UN forecasts, is that more than 50,000 children could die of starvation by mid-2026 if immediate intervention is not taken.

The UN report revealed that hundreds of thousands of residents of the Gaza Strip are facing severe levels of malnutrition, while it is expected that more than 50,000 children will be at risk of starvation by mid-2026 if the situation continues as it is.
