A year after a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, many people in Gaza still face severe hunger and lack of nutritious food. A recent study shows that 93% of pregnant or breastfeeding women in Gaza suffer from anemia, a condition caused by poor nutrition.
Key Facts
Despite a ceasefire meant to increase food supply, hunger remains widespread in Gaza.
Many families survive on only one meal per day, relying on humanitarian aid kitchens.
In August 2025, a United Nations body declared Gaza to be in a state of famine, but this was later lifted after food supplies increased temporarily.
The United Nations World Food Programme reports that 1.4 million out of 2.1 million people in Gaza face severe food insecurity.
About 200,000 people in Gaza are very close to famine conditions.
Lack of dietary variety means people, especially children and pregnant women, do not get enough important nutrients like proteins, fresh fruits, and vegetables.
Malnutrition harms children’s growth, weakens their immune systems, and can cause long-term health and developmental problems.
Medical staff in Gaza report more cases of health problems linked to malnutrition.

A doctor explained that a key problem with lethal injections is that medical experts, who are best qualified to perform them safely, cannot take part due to ethical rules. This issue came to light after Christa Pike survived a failed execution in Tennessee where the drugs may not have entered her bloodstream properly, causing serious injuries.
Key Facts
Christa Pike survived two doses of pentobarbital during a botched execution in Tennessee.
Medical experts are banned by professional ethics from participating in executions.
This ban creates problems because lethal injection requires medical skill to avoid complications.
The American Medical Association’s Code of Ethics forbids doctors from taking part in executions.
Christa Pike suffered severe burns, blistering, and swelling on her arms after the failed execution.
A possible explanation for her survival is that the drug leaked outside her veins into surrounding tissue, called extravasation.
Drugs that escape veins can cause tissue damage and enter the bloodstream slowly rather than all at once.
The quality of the drugs used and how the execution team responded are under question.
