# More than 100 international humanitarian organisations have warned that mass starvation was spreading in Gaza. According to the United Nations, Israeli forces have killed over one-thousand Palestinians trying to get food aid, since the US-Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation started operations in late May. The organisations say Palestinians are trapped in a cycle of hope and heartbreak, waiting for assistance and ceasefires, only to wake up to worsening conditions. Israel says humanitarian aid is being allowed into Gaza and accuses Hamas of exploiting civilian suffering.
