In recent days, scenes of desperation have emerged from Gaza, with reports of people collapsing on the streets from extreme hunger. Palestinian activists have documented several such incidents, highlighting the deepening food crisis.

A six-week-old infant was among 15 people who have died of starvation in Gaza in the past 24 hours, local health officials said, with malnutrition now killing Palestinians faster than at any point in the 21-month war.
