‘No one should act surprised,’ says UN expert who warned of starvation in Gaza last year Michael Fakhri, UN special rapporteur on the right to food, who sounded the alarm in early 2024, says: ‘Israel is starving Gaza.

‘We are dying slowly, save us’: starvation takes hold in Gaza after a week of appalling milestones Parents watch children waste away as deliberate aid restrictions from Israel mean hunger is becoming a killer, as experts confirm famine is currently playing out The people of Gaza did not need this week’s official confirmation from UN-backed hunger experts that the “worst-case scenario of famine” was unfolding there.
