The death of 4 citizens in the past 24 hours due to malnutrition and famine in the Gaza Strip.

Medical sources in the Gaza Strip announced the death of 4 citizens in the past 24 hours due to malnutrition and famine. These cases add to the total number, which has risen to 239 martyrs, including 106 children, reflecting the worsening humanitarian crisis in the region.

The humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip continues to escalate, as residents suffer from a severe shortage of food and medical supplies due to the blockade imposed by the Israeli occupation. Since October 7, 2023, the region has been subjected to ongoing aggression that contributes to the spread of famine.

Since March 2, 2025, the occupation authorities have closed all crossings with the Gaza Strip, preventing the entry of most food and medical aid. This closure has led to a rapid spread of famine, with many residents suffering from severe food shortages.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) warned that malnutrition among children under five has doubled between March and June, as a result of the ongoing blockade. These figures reflect the catastrophic situation faced by children in the region.

The World Health Organization confirmed that malnutrition rates in Gaza have reached alarming levels, with nearly one in five children under five in Gaza City suffering from acute malnutrition. This situation requires an urgent response from the international community.

Severe famine intertwines with a genocide being waged by the occupation, further increasing the suffering of the population and putting their lives at risk. The world must act to end this tragic situation faced by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
