The number of hunger-related deaths recorded in Gaza Strip hospitals has grown to 27, Qatar-based Al Jazeera television said, APA reports.
According to the broadcaster, two children who died at Kamal Adwan Hospital were the latest victims of starvation.
Earlier, the World Health Organization said that over 15% of children in Gaza "are acutely malnourished" and almost three percent of them "suffer from severe wasting."
The WHO added that the decline in the Gaza population’s nutritional status in the previous few months was "unprecedented globally."
