Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has accused Israel of deliberately restricting food and aid supplies to Gaza, creating what it calls a 'man-made malnutrition crisis.' The organization said that children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers are suffering the most severe consequences of this situation.

In a recently released report, MSF also questioned the operations of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a U.S. and Israel-backed organization established last year to replace the United Nations’ relief distribution system in Gaza. According to MSF, this change has caused significant disruption in aid delivery.

Based on an analysis conducted between late 2024 and early 2026 at four health centers in Gaza, MSF reported alarming increases in infant mortality, premature births, and miscarriages among malnourished mothers. MSF’s emergency medical representative, Mars Rokaspana, stated that the crisis was entirely artificially created, blaming deliberate obstruction of humanitarian assistance for the worsening conditions.
