Gaza Ministry of Health: Catastrophic famine and rising malnutrition deaths

The ministry confirmed in a statement that emergency departments in Gaza hospitals are receiving “unprecedented numbers” of Palestinians of all ages, arriving in a state of extreme exhaustion and fatigue due to severe malnutrition.

This warning comes amid the continuing deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, and the worsening crisis of food and basic aid shortages, threatening the lives of thousands of civilians, especially children and the elderly.
