As Israel's offensive in Gaza continues, over 96% of the population is facing high levels of food insecurity, including malnutrition and starvation, with a risk of famine persisting as long as conflict and restricted humanitarian access persist. Severe stress and trauma from the ongoing strikes have led to dire circumstances, with children and women being heavily impacted. Research indicates that the effects of hunger, stress, and trauma could have intergenerational consequences on health and well-being, as seen in historical famines like the Dutch and Chinese Famine, with epigenetic changes potentially being reversible with improved conditions.
