Malnutrition-related deaths in children are up 54% since April, according to UNICEF citing Palestinian Health Ministry data, APA reports citing CNN.
“Severe malnutrition is spreading among children faster than aid can reach them, and the world is watching it happen,” Edouard Beigbeder of UNICEF said in a statement.
More than 100 people have died from malnutrition during Israel’s war in Gaza – 80% of them children, according to UNICEF, and at least four children have died from starvation in the past 48 hours.
“These deaths are unconscionable – and could have been prevented,” UNICEF added.
