The Palestinian death toll in Gaza has passed 60,000. The world’s leading authority on food crises says the “worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out” in the territory of over 2 million people.

Famine fears and the new death toll are grim milestones in a conflict that began almost two years ago when Hamas attacked Israel.

Sixty percent of Americans disapprove of the Israel-Hamas war, compared to 32% of respondents who approve, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday. The approval rating sets a record low since the pollster started asking the question in November 2023, one month after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7.

The leading international authority on food crises predicted "widespread death" in Gaza without immediate action.
