American model Hailey Bieber has taken to Instagram to call attention to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza where thousands of children and families are suffering from extreme hunger.

 

“Starvation is a horrific reality for children and families in Gaza. Aid at scale must be allowed in urgently,” Bieber wrote in an Instagram story.

 

 

She went on to state that children in the Gaza Strip were starving to death and severe malnutrition was spreading faster than aid could reach them while the world was watching it happen.

 

 

According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 115 Palestinians have starved to death since Israel began its military campaign in October 2023. Most of the victims have been children, with the majority of these deaths occurring in recent weeks as conditions continue to worsen.

 

On Thursday, Israeli attacks killed at least 62 Palestinians, including 19 people who were trying to collect desperately-needed aid. According to reports, the hunger crisis is now claiming lives faster than humanitarian aid can reach those in need.

 

Meanwhile, dissent is growing within Israel itself. In Tel Aviv, dozens of Israeli teenagers publicly burned their draft orders, refusing to serve in the military as a protest against the war on Gaza. 

 

Their act of defiance highlights increasing internal opposition to the ongoing assault.
