The Gaza Health Ministry reported nine new malnutrition deaths in the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 122 since the onset of Israel's war on Gaza in October 2023.
Local hospitals are overwhelmed with starvation cases as Israel maintains a strict blockade, preventing essential supplies from reaching Palestinians, especially vulnerable children.
Noor al-Shana, an independent journalist, described the dire situation, emphasizing that extreme hunger affects all aspects of life and stating, 'We are suffocating. We are dying here.'
The Gaza Health Ministry urgently called for the opening of all crossings to allow the entry of food and aid, holding various states responsible for the crisis.
