5 deaths including two children due to famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours.

Medical sources in the Gaza Strip announced today, Tuesday, the death of 5 citizens, including two children, due to famine and malnutrition, within the last 24 hours. These incidents reflect the catastrophic situation that the residents of the strip are living in under the difficult conditions they face.

According to medical sources, the total number of victims of famine and malnutrition has risen to 227 dead, including 103 children. These figures indicate the worsening humanitarian crisis that the residents of the Gaza Strip are suffering from, as death cases are increasing alarmingly.

The humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip continues to escalate, as severe famine intertwines with a genocide being waged by the occupying state since October 7, 2023. The blockade imposed on the strip has led to a severe shortage of food and medical supplies, contributing to the spread of famine.

Since March 2, 2025, the occupying authorities have closed all crossings with the Gaza Strip, preventing the entry of most food and medical aid. This forced closure has led to an unprecedented spread of famine, with many residents suffering from acute food shortages.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) had warned that malnutrition among children under the age of five had doubled between March and June, due to the ongoing blockade. These warnings reflect the tragic situation that children in the strip are experiencing.

The World Health Organization confirmed that malnutrition rates in Gaza have reached alarming levels, as the deliberate blockade and delays in aid have caused many lives to be lost. Reports indicate that nearly one in five children under the age of five in Gaza City suffers from acute malnutrition.
