Three die from starvation and malnutrition in Gaza in the past 24 hours
Ammon News - Medical sources in the Gaza Strip reported today that three civilians have died from starvation and malnutrition over the past 24 hours, according to records from hospitals across the Strip. The sources noted that the total number of deaths due to starvation and malnutrition has risen to 269, including 112 children. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen amid a severe blockade and a critical shortage of food and medical supplies. Since March 2, 2025, Israeli authorities have closed all border crossings with Gaza, blocking the entry of most humanitarian food and medical aid, leading to a widespread famine. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) previously warned that malnutrition among children under five had doubled between March and June due to the continuing blockade. The World Health Organization (WHO) also confirmed that malnutrition levels in Gaza have reached alarming levels, stating that the deliberate blockade and aid delays have cost many lives.
