Drivers wait beside a truck loaded with aid for Gaza on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing in Rafah on August 18, 2025.

Rights group Amnesty International on August 18 accused Israel of enacting a "deliberate policy" of starvation in Gaza, as the United Nations and aid groups warn of famine in the Palestinian territory.

Israel, while heavily restricting aid allowed into the Gaza Strip, has repeatedly rejected claims of deliberate starvation in the 22-month-old war.
