Malnutrition spreads
Zeinab “died due to complications of severe malnutrition.” The statement is from the director-general of the local Ministry of Health, Munir Al-Bubrsh, in a post on a social network.
122 people died of malnutrition in Gaza since the beginning of the conflict in 2023. Of this total, 83 are children, according to a statement from yesterday from the Ministry of Health.
The number of deaths intensified from March. That was when Israel from preventing any humanitarian aid from reaching the Gaza Strip. Although the ban was partially suspended in late May, humanitarian agencies claim that the volume of distributed aid is insufficient, spreading the malnutrition, which also reaches adults.
