The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that five adults died in the past 24 hours due to hunger and malnutrition.  

This brings the total number of deaths from famine and malnutrition to 180, including 93 children.

Mohammad Abu Afsh, Director of Medical Relief in Gaza, stated that the aid entering the Strip is not enough to feed even 1% of the population, noting a continuous rise in malnutrition cases. He confirmed that the healthcare system is exhausted, and diseases are spreading rapidly.

Since March 2, the Israeli occupation has closed all border crossings into Gaza, blocking food supplies, which has led to widespread hunger and deteriorating health conditions.
