The ministry noted that the total number of deaths from famine and malnutrition has risen to 147, among them 88 children.
Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, Director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex, warned that malnutrition during children’s developmental stages will have lasting effects on an entire generation in the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, the Government Media Office in Gaza stated that the Israeli occupation has been preventing the entry of baby formula for 150 consecutive days, putting more than 40,000 infants under the age of one at risk of slow death.
