This marks the first documented case of mass starvation deaths in Gaza's modern history, with the unprecedented detail of medical professionals tracking nutrition-specific casualties. The $100 price for baby formula represents a wartime inflation rate previously unseen in the region, creating an economic barrier to survival that particularly affects infants and nursing mothers.

📰 What Happened
Gaza health officials report 15 new starvation deaths, including 4 children, bringing the total hunger-related deaths to 101 since Israel's war began. Among the victims was six-week-old Yousef al-Safadi, whose mother couldn't breastfeed due to malnutrition. Baby formula, when available, costs $100 per container. The crisis stems from Israel's near-total blockade of humanitarian supplies since March, with limited aid allowed through the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation starting in May.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The extreme inflation of essential goods ($100 for baby formula) and complete control over food access demonstrates how modern siege warfare can rapidly create economic collapse. This aligns with Revelation's description of economic systems where basic necessities become luxury items (Revelation 6:6 - a day's wages for basic food). The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's role as sole aid distributor shows how centralized control of resources can be established through seemingly beneficial organizations, previewing systems that could enable the prophesied economic controls of Revelation 13.
