'If the baby could speak, she would scream': the risky measures to feed small babies in Gaza
In a makeshift tent on a Gazan beach, 3-month-old Muntaha's grandmother grinds up chickpeas into the tiniest granules she can to form a paste to feed the infant, knowing it will cause her to cry in pain, in a desperate race to keep the baby from starving. "If the baby could speak, she would scream at us, asking what we are putting into her stomach," her aunt, Abir Hamouda said. Muntaha grimaced and squirmed as her grandmother fed her the paste with a syringe. Muntaha's family is one of many in Gaza facing dire choices to try to feed babies, especially those below the age of six months who cannot process solid food. Infant formula is scarce after a plummet in aid access to Gaza. Many women cannot breastfeed due to malnourishment, while other babies are separated from their mothers due to displacement, injury or, in Muntaha's case, death. Her family says the baby's mother was hit by a bullet while pregnant, gave birth prematurely while unconscious in intensive care, and died a few weeks later. The director of the Shifa Hospital described such a case in a Facebook post on April 27, four days after Muntaha was born. Hamouda holds her granddaughter, Muntaha, while feeding her with a homemade herbal mixture in Gaza City on Tuesday. | REUTERS "I am terrified about the fate of the baby," said her grandmother, Nemah Hamouda. "We named her after her mother ... hoping she can survive and live long, but we are so afraid, we hear children and adults die every day of hunger." Muntaha now weighs about 3.5 kilograms, her family said, barely more than half of what a full-term baby her age would normally weigh. She suffers stomach problems like vomiting and diarrhea after feeding. Health officials, aid workers and Gazan families said many families are feeding infants herbs and tea boiled in water, or grinding up bread or sesame. Humanitarian agencies also reported cases of parents boiling leaves in water, eating animal feed and grinding sand into flour. Feeding children solids too early can disrupt their nutrition, cause stomach problems, and risk choking, pediatric health experts say. "It's a desperate move to compensate for the lack of food," said UNICEF spokesperson Salim Oweis. "When mothers can't breastfeed or provide proper infant formula they resort to grinding chickpeas, bread, rice, anything that they can get their hands on to feed their children ... it is risking their health because these supplies are not made for infants to feed on." Gaza's spiraling humanitarian crisis prompted the main world hunger monitoring body on Tuesday to say a worst-case scenario of famine is unfolding and immediate action is needed to avoid widespread death. Images of emaciated Palestinian children have shocked the world. Hamouda holds a spoon filled with dried herbs as she prepares a homemade mixture to feed her granddaughter in Gaza City on Tuesday. | REUTERS Gazan health authorities have reported more and more people dying from hunger-related causes. The total so far stands at 154, among them 89 children, most of whom died in the last few weeks. With the international furor over Gaza's ordeal growing, Israel announced steps over the weekend to ease aid access. But the U.N. World Food Program said on Tuesday it was still not getting the permissions it needed to deliver enough aid. Israel and the U.S. accuse militant group Hamas of stealing aid — which the militants deny — and the U.N. of failing to prevent it. The U.N. says it has not seen evidence of Hamas diverting much aid. Hamas accuses Israel of causing starvation and using aid as a weapon, which the Israeli government denies. Humanitarian agencies say there is almost no infant formula left in Gaza. The cans available in the market cost over $100 — impossible to afford for families like Muntaha's, whose father has been jobless since the war closed his falafel business and displaced the family from their home. In the pediatric ward of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central Gaza city of Deir al-Balah, the infant formula supply is mostly depleted. One mother showed how she poured thick tahini sesame paste into a bottle and mixed it with water. Hamouda prepares food for her grandchildren using limited ingredients in Gaza City on Tuesday. | REUTERS "I am using this instead of milk, to compensate her for milk, but she won't drink it," said Azhar Imad, 31, the mother of 4-month-old Joury. "I also make her fenugreek, anise, caraway, any kind of herbs (mixed with water)," she said, panicked as she described how instead of nourishing her child, these attempts were making her sick. Medical staff at the hospital spoke of helplessness, watching on as children's health deteriorated with no way to safely feed them. "Now, children are being fed either water or ground hard legumes, and this is harmful for children in Gaza," said doctor Khalil Daqran. "If the hunger continues ... within three or four days, if the child doesn't get access to milk immediately, then they will die," he said.

Don't feed babies ready-made pouches, NHS tells parents
The NHS is telling parents not to feed babies ready-made food pouches. New health service guidance warns mothers and fathers that newborns should only be fed processed, store-bought pouches and jars 'occasionally'. The NHS instead recommends a diet of home-made meals and no processed snacks after claims by nutritionists that ready-made baby food is less healthy. It is the first time the health service has ever mentioned processed baby food in its advice on infant nutrition. In the updated guidance, the NHS tells parents that preparing simple food at home for babies is 'often healthier and cheaper'. 'Although food jars, pouches, trays and pots can be convenient, you should not rely on them as an everyday food,' it reads. 'If you use them, only use them occasionally. 'Preparing food at home is often healthier and cheaper than shop-bought food.' 'Choose products with least sugar' Parents should also buy pre-made products with 'the least amount of sugar' and avoid feeding their babies snacks until they are at least 12 months old. The guidance goes on to say that infants should not be fed solid food until they are six months old, 'even if labels say it's suitable from four months'. It also advises parents that allowing infants to suck food from a pouch can cause tooth decay. They should instead 'always squeeze the contents from pouches onto a spoon to feed your baby' and also 'move on to mashed or finger foods from purees or blended foods as soon as possible'. For children aged 12 months or older, the NHS says parents should avoid buying processed snacks from shops. 'Try not to feed them shop-bought biscuits, rusks, biscotti, melty snacks and other packaged foods,' it reads. 'They can contain a lot of sugar and your baby doesn't need them in their diet.' It adds: 'Remember, your child does not need salt or sugar added to their food or cooking water. Children should not eat salty foods as it is not good for their kidneys, and sugar can cause tooth decay.' Research by University College London (UCL) found last year that toddlers received almost half their calories from ultra-processed foods (UPFs). The study of 2,500 children found that consumption of such foods continued to rise as they got older. The most common highly processed foods eaten by toddlers were flavoured yogurts and wholegrain breakfast cereals. A BBC investigation earlier this year found the pouches were not meeting the nutritional needs of babies. Experts said habits formed in the early years were likely to continue into adulthood, fuelling Britain's obesity crisis. The Department of Health and Social Care said: 'Good nutrition is essential to giving babies the best start in life. We're updating the Better Health Start for Life website to reflect the growing variety of baby foods available and to give parents clear, consistent advice. 'Current laws already set strong standards for baby food and we support action against any products that don't meet them.'
