Gaza children still suffer malnutrition
The suffering of children in Gaza continues due to the ongoing war and humanitarian crisis, with many of them suffering from severe malnutrition and facing life-threatening dangers. Since the beginning of 2024, 157 children have died as a result of malnutrition, and more than 1.4 million people are at risk of a food crisis until the end of 2026. Approximately 158,000 cases of severe malnutrition have been recorded among children under the age of five, including 28,716 critical cases that threaten their lives. The problem is worsening due to a lack of healthy food, limited availability of milk and balanced nutrition, and rising prices, which contribute to increased rates of stunting and the need for ongoing malnutrition treatment. Additionally, health issues resulting from injuries sustained during the war affect children’s ability to eat properly, compounded by shortages of medicines and medical supplies. The situation requires a balanced approach that provides nutritious food, medical treatment, and safe water to prevent the crisis from worsening and to ensure the children’s health and well-being.
