Food shortages in Gaza are pushing children to the brink: UNRWA

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) says in a post on X that without urgent care, children in Gaza can die, as it urged Israeli authorities to permit the passage of thousands of trucks waiting to bring lifesaving aid into Gaza.

In a separate post, it said that a seven-month-old girl, Salam, suffering from serious acute malnutrition and seeking care from UNRWA, had died today while being treated by its teams.

UNRWA says she is one of thousands of malnourished children in Gaza, with more cases detected every day.
