‘Horrific’: Gaza children crying from hunger day and night
The situation for children is nothing short of horrific. We see a dramatic surge of acute malnutrition among children, specifically below the age of five.
The bodies look visibly very thin. Those children should be learning, growing; instead, they are lying weak in shelters, tents or hospitals.
Parents say children go to sleep and wake up crying from hunger. Sometimes they lose consciousness because they have not been eating in days. These are heartbreaking testimonies that we continue to hear from the ground.
All these cases could be prevented. Gaza’s Health Ministry has been calling for unconditional flow of food and medical supplies. Humanitarian workers here say that if aid won’t be delivered as soon as possible, we are expecting to see a huge wave of child deaths.
Families are financially broken and unable to afford the basic necessities for their children. That is why we see people taking the dangerous journey to the infamous Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, taking that risk, despite the awareness that these areas have turned into militarised zones, causing more harm than benefits to civilians.
Gaza needs more than 500,000 bags of flour per week: Media Office
Gaza’s Government Media Office says the enclave is “in dire need of no less than 500,000 bags of flour per week to avoid a comprehensive humanitarian collapse”.
It added that Gaza’s hospitals have recorded more than 115 deaths related to “famine and malnutrition” amid a near-total Israeli blockade.
The statement issued on Telegram warned against spreading “false narratives” about the entry of hundreds of aid trucks into Gaza.
“We categorically deny these claims, as they are completely untrue and represent a dangerous alignment with the misleading narrative of the ‘Israeli’ occupation, and a deliberate distortion of the truth of the ongoing crime,” it added.
“We call on all countries of the world, without exception, to immediately break the siege, permanently open the crossings, and allow the entry of baby milk and aid to more than 2.4 million people besieged in the Gaza Strip.”
Number of Palestinians starved to death in Gaza rises to 113: Ministry
Hospitals in the Gaza Strip have recorded two new deaths “due to famine and malnutrition” in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.
The latest count brings the total number of people starved to death in the territory to 113, the ministry statement said on Telegram.
Gaza death toll rises
At least 79 Palestinians, including 23 aid seekers, have been killed and 453 others injured in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.
In the same time period, 10 bodies were also recovered from the rubble of previous Israeli attacks, the ministry said.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed a total of 59,587 Palestinians and injured 143,498 others since October 7, 2023, the statement issued on Telegram said. It noted that 279 previous killings were added to the statistic after the enclave’s judicial committee confirmed the deaths of previously missing people.
The total number of aid seekers killed since May 27 when Israel imposed a new aid mechanism has reached 1,083, with more than 7,275 others injured, the ministry said.
