The six-year-old who almost died of starvation in Gaza
Palestinian and international organisations, including the WHO, worked together to get six-year-old Fadi out of Gaza a few months ago.
He managed to exit after images of him on the verge of death from starvation in the besieged enclave went viral. But many just like Fadi, along with his relatives, remain in Gaza and are barely surviving under relentless Israeli attacks.
This is Fadi. He’s 6 years old and almost died from starvation in Gaza.
He escaped after photos of him went viral, but he still has family there trying to survive Israel’s genocide. pic.twitter.com/Ok1rzPEqBQ
