Gaza facing man-made ‘mass starvation’: WHO

July 24, 2025

Gaza is suffering man-made “mass starvation” caused by a blockade on aid into the Palestinian enclave, World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday.

He spoke following an appeal by more than 100 aid agencies warning of hunger in Gaza while tonnes of food, clean water and medical supplies sit untouched just outside the territory.

“I don’t know what you would call it other than mass starvation, and it's man-made, and that's very clear,” Tedros told a virtual press conference live-streamed from Geneva. “This is because of (the) blockade.”
