Two Children Die in Gaza Due to Malnutrition and Starvation - Jordan News
Two Children Die in Gaza Due to Malnutrition and Starvation Palestinian medical sources announced on Tuesday morning the deaths of two children—Yousef Al-Safadi from northern Gaza and Abdel Hamid Al-Ghalban from Khan Younis in the south—due to severe malnutrition and starvation. اضافة اعلان Hospitals in the Gaza Strip are currently treating hundreds of patients of all ages suffering from acute hunger and malnutrition, many of whom are in critical states of exhaustion. The same sources indicated that around 17,000 children are suffering from severe malnutrition. Medical teams are also dealing with cases involving extreme fatigue and memory loss caused by prolonged hunger. Hospitals lack sufficient medical beds and supplies to treat the overwhelming number of malnutrition patients. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) had previously warned that the rate of malnutrition among children under the age of five had doubled between March and June, due to the ongoing Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip. UNRWA reported that its health centers and medical points conducted nearly 74,000 screenings during this period to detect malnutrition in children, identifying around 5,500 cases of severe acute malnutrition and over 800 cases of critical acute malnutrition. — (WAFA)

21 Children die of starvation in Gaza within 72 hours
Ammon News - At least 21 children have died from starvation and malnutrition across various areas of the Gaza Strip in the past 72 hours, according to medical sources. The deceased children were brought to hospitals including Al-Shifa in Gaza City, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, and Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, the sources reported. Medical officials cautioned that cases of severe hunger and malnutrition are arriving continuously, warning of a looming 'terrifying surge in fatalities' as the humanitarian crisis worsens due to the Israeli-imposed blockade and ongoing military escalation. Over 900,000 children in Gaza are currently facing hunger, with at least 70,000 entering the stage of clinical malnutrition. They also stressed that the lives of patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes and kidney disease are increasingly at risk, as many are suffering dangerous complications triggered by prolonged starvation. 'The deliberate starvation of civilians is causing widespread medical emergencies,' one health worker said. 'This is not just a crisis—it is a collapse of human survival conditions in Gaza.' WAFA
