<p>Gaza (Quds News Network)- Fourteen elderly
Palestinians died in Gaza this past week due to
starvation and the ongoing Israeli siege, the
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reported on Saturday.</p>
<p>The Geneva-based group said Gaza is facing a
\u201csilent death wave.\u201d It warned that deadly living
conditions imposed by Israel are killing growing
numbers of elderly people and children.</p>
<p>\u201cStarvation is no longer hitting only the most
vulnerable,\u201d the group said. \u201cIt is affecting
everyone in Gaza.\u201d</p>
<p>Euro-Med said it documented several deaths among
the elderly in recent days. Most suffered from
severe anemia and extreme deficiencies in proteins
and minerals.</p>
<p>Hospitals have also received dozens of elderly
patients in critical condition due to malnutrition,
the group added.</p>
<p>The monitor criticized the lack of a functioning
mechanism within Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry to track
such deaths. It said many of the victims are
mistakenly listed as natural deaths.</p>
<p>\u201cThese are not natural deaths,\u201d Euro-Med stressed.
\u201cThey follow a clear pattern of intentional killing,
which is prohibited under international humanitarian
and criminal law.\u201d</p>
<p>The rights group said the humanitarian crisis in
Gaza has reached catastrophic levels. Israel\u2019s
blockade has now pushed hunger into all sectors of
society, not just the most fragile.</p>
<p>Since March 2, 2025, Israel has imposed a complete
siege on Gaza, cutting off food, water, fuel, and
medicine. More than 172,000 Palestinians have been
killed or wounded in the genocide that Israel
launched 19 months ago, with thousands still
missing.</p>
<p>Humanitarian groups and UN agencies have repeatedly
warned that famine is imminent. Most aid routes
remain blocked, and no supplies have entered Gaza
since early March.</p>
