Gaza Health: The toll of Israeli starvation deaths is 322, including 121 children.

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Friday that the death toll due to the systematic Israeli starvation has risen to 322 martyrs, including 121 children, since the beginning of the aggression on October 7, 2023.

The Director General of the ministry, Munir Al-Bursh, explained via the 'X' platform that the sector witnessed 5 deaths in the past 24 hours due to famine and malnutrition, increasing concerns about the deteriorating humanitarian situation.

Al-Bursh pointed out that the IPC organization confirmed in its report the occurrence of famine in the city of Gaza, and it is expected to extend to Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis by the end of next September, reflecting the worsening humanitarian crisis.

Since March 2, the occupying state has closed all crossings leading to Gaza, preventing any humanitarian aid from entering, exacerbating the famine despite relief trucks piling up at the border.

Although limited amounts of aid were allowed in about a month ago, these quantities do not meet the minimum needs of the besieged population, as most trucks are subjected to looting by gangs protected by the occupation.

The genocide being committed by the occupying state since October 7, 2023, with American support, includes killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice.

The aggression has resulted in the death of 62,966 Palestinians and the injury of 159,266 others, most of whom are children and women, in addition to more than 9,000 missing and hundreds of thousands displaced, increasing the suffering of the Palestinian people.
