Medical sources announced this Wednesday afternoon that 10 people had died due to famine and malnutrition in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours.

The same sources explained that 25 children died of malnutrition and famine over the past three days.

She noted that cases of malnutrition and famine are arriving at hospitals in Gaza at every moment, with 900,000 children in Gaza suffering from hunger, 70,000 of whom have entered the malnutrition stage.

She stressed that the lives of diabetic and kidney patients are threatened by malnutrition, and they are exposed to severe attacks as a result of the starvation practiced by the occupation against the people of the Gaza Strip.

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.

She 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.
