UNICEF signals a critical rise in malnutrition among children in Gaza, attributing at least 66 deaths to starvation amid intensified Israeli attacks and a severe blockade. In May alone, over 5,100 children were treated for acute malnutrition, reflecting a near 50% rise since April. Gaza's Government Media Office condemned the blockade as a war crime and criticized the global community's silence. It holds Israel and its allies responsible and calls for immediate UN intervention to alleviate the dire humanitarian situation for children in the region.
The media office said Israel's deadly blockade constitutes a war crime and reveals its deliberate use of starvation as a weapon to exterminate civilians.
UNICEF warned that the number of malnourished children in the Gaza Strip was rising at an alarming rate, with a 150 percent increase in acute malnutrition cases since February.
