157 Children Among 466 Malnutrition Deaths in Gaza
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip reported that 466 people have died since 2024, including 157 children and 189 elderly individuals, due to malnutrition and starvation resulting from Israeli policies and the worsening humanitarian conditions in the territory. Acute malnutrition has been recorded since 2024, with 158,000 cases among children under five, including 28,716 cases classified as severe. The ministry's report predicts that more than 67% of the population—over 1.4 million people—will face food crises or worse conditions by the end of 2026, with an official famine declared in Gaza since August 2025. Additionally, rates of anemia among pregnant women have risen to 61%, and there has been an increase in pregnancy losses and illnesses related to nutritional deficiencies. The ministry emphasized that the continuation of the siege and aggression worsens the situation and called on the international community to open crossings and ensure the safe and sustainable delivery of food and medicines to the most vulnerable groups.
