Gaza: Hospitals in the Gaza Strip recorded five deaths, including a child, due to man-made famine and malnutrition over the past 24 hours.
According to Oman News Agency, the total number of deaths from man-made famine and malnutrition has risen to 404, including 141 children. Since the IPC’s announcement, 126 deaths have been recorded, including 26 children. Cases of malnutrition and famine continue to arrive at hospitals in Gaza continuously, as around 900,000 children are suffering from man-made hunger, with 70,000 of them entering a state of malnutrition.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has warned that malnutrition among children under the age of five has doubled between March and June as a result of the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip.
