The number of starvation victims in Gaza is rising

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Wednesday the recording of six new deaths, including a child, due to famine and malnutrition in the Strip over the past 24 hours.

The ministry said in a statement: “This brings the number of famine victims to 367, including 131 children.” It noted that since the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) declared famine in the Gaza Strip on August 22, 89 deaths have been recorded, including 16 children.

The ministry confirmed that the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip continues to worsen due to the blockade and shortages of food and medical supplies, renewing its call for immediate and urgent intervention from the international community and relief organizations.
