A 5-month-old Palestinian baby suffering from severe malnutrition died in her mother’s arms in Gaza Friday, one of the latest victims of a starvation crisis that has generated international outrage but continues to deepen.

U.N. officials say many people in Gaza are experiencing "famine-like conditions." Health experts who have studied past famines warn that the fallout can reverberate across generations.

The United Nations has condemned airdrops on Gaza, amid the rapidly deteriorating starvation crisis as Israel continues to block aid into the territory. Hunger has reached catastrophic levels, and nearly half a million are now people facing famine-like conditions, as a third of the Gaza population are being forced to go without food.
