Palestinian child dies of malnutrition in southern Gaza
A Palestinian child has died of malnutrition at the Children’s and Maternity Hospital in Khan Younis, a medical source in Nasser Medical Complex tells Al Jazeera.
Starvation is getting worse in northern Gaza where 31 percent of children under the age of 2 are suffering from acute malnutrition, a percentage that has doubled since January.
‘Total chaos’: Israeli forces again massacre hungry Palestinians seeking food
Every day since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution points have opened, Palestinians have gathered in large crowds waiting to collect what little food there is.
As they approach, the Israeli army starts opening fire, Israeli quadcopters hover above their heads, and Israeli tanks proceed to bear down on the aid seekers.
The toll rose to 14 Palestinians killed today at these distribution sites, among them a woman named Hanan who was solely responsible for feeding her kids and family.
The shootings occurred at the Rafah distribution point near al-Mawasi, but also in central Gaza, where 31 Palestinians were wounded. Most victims sustained gunfire in the upper parts of the body – the chest, the neck, the head.
These distribution sites are in the middle of nowhere, where Israeli bulldozers destroyed residential homes. It’s totally chaotic. Israeli forces have been firing live ammunition as well as tear gas canisters to disperse starving Palestinians.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Israel recently acknowledged supporting local armed groups opposed to Hamas.
