The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that 11 people, including a child, have died within 24 hours due to famine and malnutrition.

The total number of victims from starvation and malnutrition has now risen to 251, including 108 children.

Since March 2, Israel has closed all border crossings into Gaza, preventing the entry of humanitarian aid. This has plunged the strip into a state of famine, despite aid trucks piling up at the borders and the limited entry of supplies that fall far short of meeting the basic needs of the population.
