where we bring you some of the week's most important conversations you might have missed. Last

week, more than 100 aid in human rights groups warned that Gaza is at risk of mass starvation.

Nearly 150 people have already died of malnutrition since the war began.

That's according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

The organizations signed an appeal demanding Israel allow food shipments into the territory.

On Saturday, Israel's military announced

airdrops of aid began in Gaza, and humanitarian corridors were established. On Monday, while in

Scotland, President Trump told reporters that the U.S. would work to set up food centers in Gaza.

But among those starving in the besieged strip are members of the press. Palestinian journalists working

for outlets around the world because Israel has barred international reporters. Several news organizations

warn their employees in Gaza will die unless urgent action is taken to allow food aid to reach

the hungry and they are allowed free passage out of Gaza to recover from the past

21 months. After the break, Jody Gensberg joins us to tell us more about the situation. She's the

chief executive officer of the Committee to Protect Journalists, or CPJ. That's an independent

nonprofit organization that promotes free press worldwide and one of the organizations that signed

the appeal. For all the latest on this story, visit npr.org or tune in to your local member station.
