As of August 8, 197 people, including 96 children, have died from famine in Gaza as a consequence of Israel's blockade and military actions. Approximately 100,000 Palestinian women and children are experiencing severe malnutrition. A significant portion of Gaza's population, which totals 2.1 million, has not had food for several days. Other regions such as Sudan, Nigeria, Haiti, Mali, and Yemen are also facing extreme hunger. Experts caution that improperly administered refeeding programs can lead to severe complications and even death in malnourished individuals.

UN-backed health monitors have said some 100,000 Palestinian women and children are facing severe malnutrition, and a third of the population of 2.1 million hasn't eaten in days.
In Nigeria, where funding from international donors has been cut, malnutrition has led to the deaths of 625 children in the first six months of 2025.
Health experts have warned that refeeding programs for malnourished people can have fatal complications if done without proper care.
