Significant increase.. Israeli starvation claims the lives of fetuses and premature infants

Inside the morgue at "Nasser Hospital" in southern Gaza, the bodies of 4 fetuses and 3 premature infants who lost their lives on Monday were laid out, in a scene that reflects the tragedy of Palestinians due to the systematic Israeli starvation and the tightened blockade that has deprived these individuals and their mothers of access to food, medicine, and proper care.

This scene was described by a Palestinian medical official as a dangerous indicator of the increasing deaths from malnutrition and the rise in miscarriages among pregnant women due to Israeli starvation, despite international condemnation.

According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, thousands of Palestinians, including children, have been suffering from acute malnutrition since Israel tightened its blockade in March and closed the crossings, preventing the entry of food, medicine, and aid.
