TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The “worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out in the Gaza Strip,” the leading international authority on food crises said in a new alert Tuesday, predicting “widespread death” without immediate action.

The local pause in fighting came days after ceasefire efforts between Israel and Hamas appeared to be in doubt.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly prepared to propose a plan to annex the entire Gaza Strip that has the backing of the Trump administration, signalling the next horrific phase in Israel’s genocide as it also moves forward with annexing the occupied West Bank.

After the White House said Trump will present a new aid plan for Gaza, officials could share no details on how the U.S. might join European and Arab allies in moving aid.

Two Israeli rights groups said Israel was carrying out "coordinated, deliberate action to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza strip."

Marjorie Taylor Greene was the first Republican in Congress to use the term to describe the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. But others in the MAGA movement have expressed growing concern about Israel.

As photos circulate online of the famine affecting the Gaza Strip, questions mount about possible misinformation making its way onto the internet. Tel Aviv Institute Senior Fellow Hen Mazzig joins Erielle Reshef to discuss possible circulation of misinformation and the landscape of the hunger situation unfolding in Gaza.
