More than 80 percent of young children are experiencing severe food poverty in the Gaza Strip, UNICEF said in a statement, APA reports.
"UNICEF estimates that in the coming weeks, at least 10,000 children under five years will suffer the most life-threatening form of malnutrition, known as severe wasting, and will need therapeutic foods.
More than 80 percent of young children are experiencing severe food poverty, and more than two-thirds of hospitals are no longer functioning because of the lack of fuel, water, and vital medical supplies or because they sustained catastrophic damage in attacks," reads the statement.
The UNICEF calls for an immediate ceasefire.
