THE hunger crisis spreading across Gaza can now be seen from space in gut-wrenching satellite images.

Thousands of starving Palestinians can be seen crowding around aid trucks begging for food in the war-torn Strip.

The pictures were taken before the United Nations warned of a serious famine being created in Hamas territory.

Images from the south of the Strip show civilians gathering around 15 lorries which were all sent into Gaza filled with food.

Away from the surging crowds sits evidence of the gruelling conditions in which Palestinians have been living in for just under two years now.

Makeshift tents and crumbling buildings are spread across the Strip with a ceasefire deal with Hamas thugs and Israeli forces yet to be agreed.

Global leaders, including UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and US President Donald Trump, have said a peace deal must be made to save those living under the awful conditions.

The calls for a ceasefire have been amplified in recent days after the global body responsible for monitoring hunger warned Gazans are now experiencing the “worst-case scenario of famine”.

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), an initiative made up of 21 aid groups, governments and UN agencies, announced: “Mounting evidence shows that widespread starvation, malnutrition, and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths.”

Famine has not yet been confirmed in the region with the IPC still trying to ascertain all the facts on the ground.

They will need to prove at least 20 per cent of Gaza’s 2.1 million population – 420,000 people – are experiencing an “extreme” lack of food.

More than 30 per cent of children under five also have to be suffering from acute malnutrition with at least two people per 10,000 dying from starvation per day.

In July, at least 63 people, including 24 children under five, died from hunger, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Hamas’ health ministry claims 127 people have died from a lack of food since Israel launched a counter attack inside Gaza following October 7.

It alleges at least a third of them are children.

The scale of hunger comes after Israel accused Hamas of treating civilians in the Strip as pawns and human shields.

Israel has also claimed the terrorists are stealing food from aid trucks.

Earlier this month, 20 people were killed at an aid distribution site in Gaza after a “chaotic and dangerous” crowd surge.

The US and Israel-backed GHF said it believed the harrowing push was “driven by agitators in the crowd” who were affiliated to Hamas.

Harrowing scenes also saw Palestinian people overrun food trucks carrying aid into Gaza.

Distressing footage shared by Turkish news site TRT shows a sea of starving Gazans desperately climbing onto vehicles to reach food.

Some individuals appear to manage to grab boxes of aid, while other malnourished people seem to scramble to safety due to the heaving crowds.

Israel announced a pause in fighting over the weekend and have started to allow food to be air dropped into Gaza.

They are also working on opening up new supply corridors for aid workers to safely deliver food.

Military operations will be halted for 10 hours each day as officials look to establish the new designated humanitarian aid corridors.

It comes as Trump has revealed he has a mystery plan with Israel to end the war in Gaza and announced a mission to get aid to starving Palestinians.

The US President vowed to set up food centres across Gaza – insisting: “We want to get the children fed.”

He described the scenes as “terrible” – adding: “We have to help on a humanitarian basis.

He also distanced himself from comments made by Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who insisted there was no starvation in Gaza.

Netanyahu had said on Sunday: “There is no policy of starvation in Gaza and there is no starvation in Gaza.”

Asked if he agreed with the Israeli PM, Trump said: “I don’t know. I mean, based on television, I would say not, particularly because those children look very hungry.”
