Gaza reports 466 deaths from malnutrition
The Gaza Ministry of Health reports that malnutrition and starvation have caused the deaths of 466 people since the beginning of 2024, including 157 children, amidst ongoing war, blockade, and worsening food conditions. The figures indicate that more than 1.4 million Palestinians, approximately 67% of the population, are experiencing severe food insecurity, with expectations that this will continue until the end of 2026. Severe malnutrition among children has reached 28,716 cases threatening their lives. Additionally, the mortality rate among children under five has risen significantly, from 13.6 to 33.4 deaths per thousand live births between 2022 and 2025, amid increasing risks of disease and delayed growth, jeopardizing the future of an entire generation in the territory.
