WHO says malnutrition reaching 'alarming levels' in Gaza
Malnutrition rates are reaching "alarming levels" in the Gaza Strip, the World Health Organization warned Sunday, saying the "deliberate blocking" of aid was entirely preventable and had cost many lives. "Malnutrition is on a dangerous trajectory in the Gaza Strip, marked by a spike in deaths in July," the WHO said in a statement. Of the 74 recorded malnutrition-related deaths in 2025, 63 had occurred in July -- including 24 children under five, one child aged over five, and 38 adults, it added. "Most of these people were declared dead on arrival at health facilities or died shortly after, their bodies showing clear signs of severe wasting," the UN health agency said. "The crisis remains entirely preventable. Deliberate blocking and delay of large-scale food, health, and humanitarian aid has cost many lives." Israel on Sunday began a limited "tactical pause" in military operations to allow the UN and aid agencies to tackle a deepening hunger crisis. But the WHO called for sustained efforts to "flood" the Gaza Strip with diverse, nutritious food, and for the expedited delivery of therapeutic supplies for children and vulnerable groups, plus essential medicines and supplies. "This flow must remain consistent and unhindered to support recovery and prevent further deterioration", the Geneva-based agency said. On Wednesday, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called the situation "mass starvation -- and it's man-made". 'Dangerous cycle' of death Nearly one in five children under five in Gaza City is now acutely malnourished, the WHO said Sunday, citing its Nutrition Cluster partners. It said the percentage of children aged six to 59 months suffering from acute malnutrition had tripled in the city since June, making it the worst-hit area in the Palestinian territory. "These figures are likely an underestimation due to the severe access and security constraints preventing many families from reaching health facilities," the WHO said. The WHO said that in the first two weeks of July, more than 5,000 children under five had been admitted for outpatient treatment of malnutrition -- 18 percent of them with the most life-threatening form, severe acute malnutrition (SAM). The 6,500 children admitted for malnutrition treatment in June was the highest number since the war began in October 2023. A further 73 children with SAM and medical complications have been hospitalised in July, up from 39 in June. "This surge in cases is overwhelming the only four specialised malnutrition treatment centres," the WHO said. Furthermore, the organisation said the breakdown of water and sanitation services was "driving a dangerous cycle of illness and death". As for pregnant and breastfeeding women, Nutrition Cluster screening data showed that more than 40 percent were severely malnourished, the WHO said. "It is not only hunger that is killing people, but also the desperate search for food," the UN health agency said. "Families are being forced to risk their lives for a handful of food, often under dangerous and chaotic conditions," it added. The UN rights office says Israeli forces have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians trying to get food aid in Gaza since the Israel- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation started operations in late May. Nearly three-quarters of them died near GHF sites.

Video: Jordanian, Emirati Planes Drop 25 Tonnes Of Food Over Gaza As Hunger Crisis Worsens
Last Updated: The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to deteriorate, following 21 months of war compounded by a full Israeli blockade of aid deliveries from March to May. As Israel began a limited 'tactical pause" in some military operations, Jordanian and Emirati planes dropped food into Gaza on Sunday. The pause was announced to allow the UN and aid agencies to operate amid the worsening hunger crisis in Gaza. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to deteriorate, following 21 months of war compounded by a full Israeli blockade of aid deliveries from March to May. Although restrictions have eased, the volume of humanitarian assistance reaching the Palestinian territory remains significantly below what international aid agencies deem necessary. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected responsibility for the worsening conditions in Gaza, instead directing criticism at the United Nations. Meanwhile, the Israeli military has denied accusations that it is using starvation as a weapon, stating that it has worked in coordination with the UN and other international organisations to 'increase the scale of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip." Despite these assertions, the situation on the ground remains critical. The World Health Organisation (WHO) raised fresh alarms on Sunday, reporting that malnutrition in Gaza has reached 'alarming levels." According to WHO data, of the 74 malnutrition-related deaths documented in 2025, 63 occurred in July alone. Among the dead were 24 children under the age of five, one child over five, and 38 adults. 'Most of these people were declared dead on arrival at health facilities or died shortly after, their bodies showing clear signs of severe wasting," the UN health agency said. WHO also emphasised that the worsening conditions were 'entirely preventable," adding: 'Deliberate blocking and delay of large-scale food, health and humanitarian aid has cost many lives." The World Food Programme (WFP) painted an equally grim picture, estimating that a third of Gaza's population had gone without food for days. The agency said 470,000 people were 'enduring famine-like conditions." UN emergency relief coordinator Tom Fletcher acknowledged Israel's implementation of tactical pauses in fighting and said UN teams would make every effort to deliver aid during these intervals. 'We will do all we can to reach as many starving people as we can in this window," Fletcher said. (With inputs from AFP) view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
