Gaza Herald – Four children have died at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, as a direct result of severe malnutrition and the ongoing Israeli siege and assaults.
Medical staff warn that the blockade continues to push Gaza’s most vulnerable, especially children, to the brink, turning hospitals into morgues for the innocent.
Since the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) declared famine conditions in Gaza, at least 179 deaths have been documented, including 37 children. In total, the death toll from malnutrition has now reached 459, with 154 of them being children, a grim testament to the genocidal impact of Israel’s policy of deprivation and blockade.
