Three deaths since this morning in Gaza due to malnutrition and famine.

Medical sources announced this morning, Tuesday, the deaths of three citizens, including two children, in the Gaza Strip due to malnutrition.

According to sources, Yousef Al-Safadi from the northern Gaza Strip was martyred in Al-Shifa Hospital, Abdul Hamid Al-Ghalban from Khan Yunis in the south was martyred in Nasser Hospital, and Ahmed Al-Hasanat was martyred in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

According to the same sources, 23 citizens, including children, died in several areas of the Gaza Strip due to malnutrition over the course of two days.

Hospitals in the Gaza Strip are treating hundreds of people of all ages who are suffering from severe hunger and malnutrition, and are in a state of extreme stress.

The same sources indicated that 17,000 children are suffering from severe malnutrition, and that patients are being treated for stress and memory loss resulting from severe hunger. Hospitals lack sufficient beds and medications for the massive number of people suffering from severe malnutrition.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned that malnutrition among children under the age of five doubled between March and June, as a result of the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.

It explained that UNRWA health centers and medical points conducted approximately 74,000 malnutrition tests for children during this period, identifying approximately 5,500 cases of global acute malnutrition and more than 800 cases of severe acute malnutrition.
