Rabat — Gaza recorded tragedy amid the Israeli-induced famine in the enclave, as yet another child starved to death this morning.
Wafa news agency said medical staff at the Al-Ahli Baptist hospital confirmed the death of the young boy due to severe malnutrition, while Gaza continues to suffer through a growing humanitarian catastrophe.
The same source quoted medical reports, which confirmed that over 900,000 children in Gaza are now experiencing starvation. Alarmingly, 70,000 of them reached the stage of clinical malnutrition. The death toll due to starvation now sits at 114 people.
The desperate situation is even more exacerbated by the spread of illnesses, including water-related diseases, across Gaza.
International NGO Oxfam launched an appeal, warning against the deteriorating situation in the enclave.
The organization reported that watery diarrhea and bloody diarrhea in the region increased significantly over the past three months without urgent intervention.
According to Wafa agency, Oxfam said the recorded data “may not fully capture the scale of the crisis.”
Amid starvation and diseases, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) continue their genocidal assaults on defenseless civilians.
Al Jazeera reported that Israeli attacks killed at least 11 Palestinians since dawn, including four aid seekers.
