Medical sources in Gaza announced on Monday that the death toll among children due to malnutrition has risen to 57.

The sources explained that the children of the Gaza Strip "have become homeless and are living in catastrophic conditions in displacement sites."

The sources renewed their "urgent appeal to the free people of the world that saving the children of Gaza is not an option but a humanitarian duty."

In early March, Israel halted the entry of all types of aid into the Gaza Strip, days before the war resumed.

This has plunged the Gaza Strip, with a population of more than two million, into what is believed to be the worst humanitarian crisis since the war began in October 2023.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) warned that more than 96 percent of women and children in Gaza are unable to meet their basic food needs.

A United Nations report indicated that approximately 1.95 million Palestinians, out of a population of 2.2 million, suffer from critical levels of food insecurity.
