Student groups across several American universities have launched a coordinated hunger strike in solidarity with the people of Gaza, who are facing severe food shortages due to the Israeli regime’s genocidal policies.

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has warned that famine is likely to occur throughout the Gaza Strip, noting that hundreds of thousands of people are facing catasrophic food insecurity in the region.

UNRWA, the main provider of aid in the Gaza Strip, is once again under Israel’s systematic attacks.

The UN food agency says the likelihood of a larger group being impacted by famine will surely increase unless Israel lifts restrictions.

Nearly half a million Palestinians in Gaza face severe food shortages, according to the UN and humanitarian organizations.

An international human rights organization says Israel has destroyed most of Gaza's farmlands in its ongoing genocide.

Palestinian officials in Gaza say the US and Israel are pushing the territory toward famine through a policy of starvation and prevention of aid delivery.
