Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt As Gazans face mass starvation due to Israel's blockade, more than 100 humanitarian organizations are demanding action to end Israel's siege of Gaza. Their warning comes as the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced the number of starvation-related deaths in Gaza has climbed to at least 113 people. We go to Gaza City for an update from Mahmoud Alsaqqa, Oxfam's emergency food security and livelihoods lead. "We are really exhausted, and we've become unable to bear the situation any longer," says Alsaqqa, who adds he has lost nearly 15 pounds since the Israeli blockade began.

Because we do not accept any corporate or government funding, we rely on audience members like you to sustain our work.
