Starvation is a horrific reality for children and families in Gaza.

Aid at scale must be allowed in urgently.

Starvation is a horrific reality for children and families in Gaza. Aid at scale must be allowed in urgently.

This is a man-made disaster.

Enough is enough. The United Nations must be allowed to deliver aid of all types at scale to families in Gaza, wherever they are.

Almost 800 people killed in Gaza while trying to get food aid since end of May, says UN โ€“ Middle East crisis live Majority of those killed were in the vicinity of sites run by the Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

Ask yourself how many people being killed whilst trying to secure food aid you can tolerate. Zero? Ten? Fifty? How about 798?

Obesity is not a simple disease for which solutions can be found by focusing in one direction. If we start from one direction, it requires persistent policies and collaboration to promote and sustain a secure environment for food and physical activities.
