Malnutrition Kills Many in Gaza
The Ministry of Health in Gaza Strip has announced that the hunger and malnutrition crisis has significantly worsened to catastrophic levels. Since the beginning of 2024, there have been 466 deaths due to food insecurity. Additionally, over 158,000 cases of severe malnutrition have been recorded among children under five, including 28,000 cases that are critical and life-threatening. The ongoing war and blockade have led to a severe shortage of medicines and aid, endangering the lives of more than 1.4 million Palestinians. This situation is causing an increase in child and maternal deaths, as well as a decline in the health of the elderly. The ministry estimates that 67% of the population will face acute levels of the food crisis until the end of 2026, with rising rates of malnutrition, rising child mortality, and a threatening future for generations.
