Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip continue to kill and injure hundreds of Palestinians each day, including many people seeking aid amid deepening starvation across the territory. Despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claim that there is "no starvation" in Gaza, a U.S. doctor who just returned from Gaza says the reality is undeniable. "It was evident to me, in my firsthand experience, that what I was seeing was malnourishment in my patients," says Dr. Ambereen Sleemi, a urogynecologist and the executive director of the International Medical Response Foundation based in New York. "We also saw it in our hospital staff. … Everybody would sit and talk about how hungry they were."
