Famine looms in northern Gaza, with 70% facing catastrophic hunger, according to a report. Escalation of the war could push half of Gaza’s population to the brink of starvation. Israel is urged to facilitate aid entry, as current deliveries are deemed slow and insufficient. The EU labels the impending famine as “entirely manmade” due to starvation being used as a weapon of war. Israeli forces conducted a raid on Gaza’s largest hospital, citing Hamas presence and firing from within the compound.
