Khalil Al-Daqran, medical director of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, said that the Gaza Strip has entered the fifth stage of malnutrition, the most severe according to the World Health Organization's classification, due to the strict blockade imposed by the Israeli occupation.
He added in a statement to Voice of Palestine that Gaza's children are experiencing the most severe stages of malnutrition due to a lack of food and baby formula, which threatens their lives.
Al-Daqran pointed out that approximately 200,000 patients with chronic diseases are at risk of death due to the depletion of their medications.
