4 Palestinians, including two children, died due to hunger in Gaza

Medical sources in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday that 4 citizens, including two children, had died due to starvation in Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, bringing the number of victims of hunger and malnutrition to 34 citizens.

The sources said, "4 citizens, including two children, died today, as a result of malnutrition, dehydration, and lack of medical supplies, in Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip." Noting that the number of deaths due to famine has risen to 34, including 31 children.

The Gaza Strip has been exposed to a bloody Israeli war since October 7, 2023, which has left extremely difficult humanitarian conditions, reaching the point of famine, in light of a severe scarcity of food, water, medicine, and fuel supplies.

Citizens, especially in the Gaza and North governorates, are on the verge of famine in light of the severe scarcity of food and life supplies, with the displacement of about two million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, which has been besieged by Israel for 18 years.

The Israeli army continues to prevent and obstruct the arrival of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, especially to the northern regions, while the aid that reaches the south of the Strip does not suffice the needs of citizens, especially with the displacement of more than 1.3 million citizens from northern Gaza to its south, specifically to Rafah.

The Israeli army forces not only prevent the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, but also deliberately target citizens waiting for aid, resulting in the death and injury of hundreds.

In an infinite toll, the number of victims of the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has risen to 32,705 dead, the majority of whom are children and women, in addition to 75,190 injured, while thousands of citizens are still missing under the rubble and on the roads, and the Israeli army is preventing ambulance and rescue crews from reaching them. .
