The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has intensified, with six more people succumbing to starvation and malnutrition in the last day, according to data from the enclave's health ministry.

As the situation worsens, Egyptian state television reported that two fuel trucks were poised for a rare delivery into Gaza, bringing a glimmer of hope amid the dire conditions.

Since the conflict's onset, 175 individuals, including 93 children, have died from hunger-related causes. Despite Israel easing some restrictions, fuel scarcity has crippled healthcare, shifting medical focus to critical cases.
