WHO: 1,600 Palestinian Children Facing Severe Malnutrition

The Israeli regime is using starvation as a weapon against Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

This issue, along with the extensive bombing of residential areas and Gaza’s infrastructure, including medical centers, has placed Palestinians on on the path to genocide.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that Palestinian children are at severe risk of starvation and famine.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the WHO, emphasized that a significant portion of Gaza’s population is now struggling with hunger and famine conditions, with children being the most affected.

Despite reports of increased humanitarian aid arriving in Gaza, evidence suggests that families in dire need are not receiving sufficient food during the distribution process.

Ghebreyesus highlighted the severe impact on Palestinian children, noting that more than 8,000 children under the age of five are suffering from malnutrition and are receiving treatment in hospitals. Among them, 1,600 children are severely malnourished.
