United Nations: More than 100 children in Gaza have died due to malnutrition.

Humanitarian organizations affiliated with the United Nations have called for urgent action after medical sources in the Gaza Strip announced the death of more than 100 children due to malnutrition since the beginning of the war in October 2023. These figures reflect the catastrophic situation that children in the besieged territory are suffering from.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) described on its official website that the death toll among children exceeding one hundred is a "catastrophic milestone that tarnishes the world's reputation and calls for urgent action long overdue." These statements reflect the growing concern over the worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza.

The World Food Programme indicated that more than 300,000 children in Gaza are facing severe danger, and more than a third of the population reported not having eaten for consecutive days. The nutritional situation in the territory requires meeting food needs exceeding 62,000 tons per month, while the quantities allowed to be brought in remain far below the minimum.

OCHA added that the United Nations and its partners managed to bring in some food, fuel, and supplies from the Kerem Shalom crossing on Sunday, but the shipments were unloaded before reaching their destination, exacerbating the suffering of the population.

It clarified that Israeli authorities allow the entry of about 150,000 liters of fuel daily, which is far less than what is needed to ensure the continuation of life-saving operations. This severe fuel shortage significantly impacts essential services.

It was reported that more than half of the ambulances in Gaza have stopped working due to a lack of fuel and spare parts, making it more difficult to reach the injured. These conditions require an urgent response from the international community.

The Food and Agriculture Organization also warned that only 1.5 percent of agricultural land in the territory remains viable, indicating a near-total collapse of the local food system. These figures reflect the devastating impact of the siege and aggression on the lives of Palestinians.
