7 More Die from Malnutrition in Gaza

The Hamas-run Ministry of Public Health has confirmed another

7 deaths

from malnutrition in the Gaza Strip, bringing the total number of fatalities to

12

in the past week. The recent surge in hunger-related deaths has raised concerns among humanitarian organizations and local authorities.

The victims were

aged 2 to 5

, a particularly vulnerable group amidst the

ongoing humanitarian crisis

in the territory. The crisis has been exacerbated by

blockades

and

renewed escalations

in the region, causing a

deterioration

in the availability and accessibility of essential goods and medical care.

The situation has

reignited calls

for increased

international intervention

and

humanitarian aid

for the population in Gaza. Local authorities and aid organizations are urging for an

immediate response

to prevent further loss of life.
