The groups emphasized that, without rapid action, famine could engulf the entire 360-square-kilometer territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The European Union has issued a formal warning to Israel, indicating potential consequences should it continue to obstruct the entry of critical humanitarian supplies into Gaza. Gaza\u2019s six border crossings remain under tight Israeli and Egyptian control, severely restricting the flow of food, medicine, and fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ongoing conflict has already claimed more than 52,219 lives and injured over 143,000 Gazans since October 2023. UN officials and rights advocates insist that starvation is emerging as a weapon of war, as restrictions hamper aid convoys and civilian infrastructure collapses under relentless bombardment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"686\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-24-150448.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-129543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-24-150448.png 686w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-24-150448-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>UNRWA\u2019s appeal comes amid growing international pressure, including calls for an immediate ceasefire and unfettered humanitarian access.
