Gaza Starvation Deaths Reach 466

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip reported the death of 466 Palestinians, including 157 children, due to starvation and malnutrition since the beginning of 2024. This is a result of the blockade and Israeli restrictions on the entry of aid. It is expected that more than 1.4 million Palestinians, approximately 67% of the Gaza population, will face a food crisis or worse until the end of 2026. The ministry pointed to rising rates of malnutrition and anemia among pregnant women, along with recorded deaths caused by severe malnutrition among children. The health situation is deteriorating, and shortages of essential goods persist due to ongoing border closures. International organizations have called for urgent intervention to ensure the safe and sustainable delivery of food and medicines, amid continued restrictions that worsen Gaza’s food crisis.
