Gaza reports 466 malnutrition deaths since 2024
The Gaza Strip is facing a severe food crisis that has resulted in the deaths of 466 people since the beginning of 2024, including 157 children. The health of children has deteriorated, and their nutritional levels have declined due to ongoing war and continuous blockade. The ministry has also recorded an increase in child mortality rates to 33.4 per thousand live births between 2022 and 2025, along with the emergence of cases of severe malnutrition that threaten children's lives. Data indicate that more than 1.4 million Palestinians, or about 67% of the territory's population, are suffering from severe food insecurity. The crisis could escalate to famine by the end of 2026, as malnutrition rates continue to rise and impact the health and future of children and the upcoming generation.
