I hope you will donate today to support our independent journalism.Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

At Least 19 Palestinians Starve to Death as U.N. Warns Gaza Has “Reached New Levels of Desperation”

HeadlineJul 21, 2025

The attack came as the World Food Programme warned “Gaza’s hunger crisis has reached new levels of desperation.” Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 19 people have starved to death over the past day, including a 35-day-old infant and a 3-month-old baby named Yahya al-Najjar. This is Yahya’s uncle Anan.

Anan Al-Najjar: “He died due to malnutrition and the unavailability of baby formula at the Gaza Strip. We urge the entire world, all Arab countries and everyone with a living consciousness, humanity and dignity, to just stand with the children, just to let baby formula get into the Gaza Strip.”

In other news from Gaza, Israel has launched a ground and air assault on the city of Deir al-Balah, where thousands of displaced Palestinians have been sheltering.
