A child from the Gaza Strip died due to being denied treatment.

Child Hassan Barbakh died on Tuesday due to the inability of the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip to provide him with the necessary treatment.

The official news agency (Wafa) reported that the child, Barbakh, died after suffering from an enlarged liver, kidney leakage, and a sharp increase in blood acidity, accompanied by severe malnutrition.

She noted that his family had launched several urgent appeals to save their child's life and transfer him abroad for treatment, but their efforts were unsuccessful. He joined his brother, who died of similar health conditions.

Barbakh's story reflects one example of the suffering endured by thousands of children in the Gaza Strip, where many face a similar fate due to the collapse of the healthcare system, shortages of medicines and equipment, and the ban on travel outside the Strip for medical treatment.

Gazan families and humanitarian organizations continue to demand that children be rescued and provided with medical care before more innocent lives are lost as a result of the Israeli occupation's blockade and the prevention of the entry of medical equipment and medicines.
