Infant Hood Arafat died this Saturday morning due to malnutrition and lack of milk.
According to medical sources, the number of children who have died from malnutrition and starvation since yesterday has risen to three, bringing the death toll from starvation in the Gaza Strip to 124, following the deaths of 11 more children in the past 28 hours.
Medical sources said that 84 children have been killed by the Israeli occupation forces' starvation policy in the Gaza Strip, after two infants were announced yesterday to have died of famine and malnutrition in the Strip.
It's worth noting that cases of malnutrition and famine are arriving at hospitals in Gaza at any given moment. Some 900,000 children in Gaza are suffering from hunger, 70,000 of whom have entered the malnutrition stage.
It is noteworthy that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) had warned that malnutrition among children under the age of five had doubled between March and June, as a result of the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.
