Malnutrition in Gaza Persists
Children in Gaza Strip are suffering from severe malnutrition due to the ongoing food crisis, the deterioration of the healthcare system, and the lack of basic needs. Since the beginning of 2024, 466 Palestinians have died, including 157 children, as a result of malnutrition and starvation. The Ministry of Health has recorded 158,000 cases of malnutrition among children under five, with 28,716 of these cases being critically severe and life-threatening. Families rely on food aid and consume only small amounts of fruits and vegetables because of rising prices and the worsening economic situation, which leads to continued malnutrition and the spread of related diseases. It is expected that the number of affected children will reach 74,200 by April 2027. Despite claims by the occupier that the famine has ended, children are suffering from severe hunger and health deterioration, with shortages of essential supplies such as milk and gas. The healthcare system remains weak and continues to receive cases of malnutrition daily.
