Israel has called the United Nations' declaration of famine in parts of Gaza an "outright lie," but multiple U.N. bodies, more than 100 humanitarian groups, and several of Israel's own allies have warned for months that the war and Israel's restrictions of food into Gaza are causing starvation among civilians.

The United Nations on Friday officially declared a famine in Gaza, the first time it has done so in the Middle East, with experts warning 500,000 people face "catastrophic" hunger.

Thousands of Moroccans poured into the streets of Casablanca’s Al-Mohammadi neighborhood in a massive show of solidarity with Palestinians against the ongoing genocide and famine perpetuated by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF).
