Starving in the Shadow of Peace A recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has brought a fragile peace to the Gaza Strip, but beneath the surface, a more insidious threat looms: hunger.
According to a new UN report, two thirds of the population teeters on the brink of crisis due to food insecurity. The numbers are staggering, given that access to basic necessities in Gaza is already tenuous at best.
Humanitarian agencies have managed to maintain some semblance of stability, but their efforts are often undermined by short term solutions and a lack of sustained aid and funding.
