The humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip is worsening, especially for children facing acute malnutrition. UNICEF reported a 50% increase in hospital admissions for malnourished children between April and May, with severe acute malnutrition cases rising 146% since February. Access to essential resources is becoming increasingly precarious. Aid delivery has been altered, forcing Palestinians to risk their safety at distribution points where many have been killed. In the midst of this, parents are coping with profound loss as they navigate daily survival in dire conditions.
"The number of children with SAM has surged 146 per cent since February, indicating a critical deterioration in health conditions among Gaza's youngest residents, facing acute malnutrition with dwindling resources."
"UNICEF highlighted that the situation in Gaza for children has become increasingly dire, with many risking their lives to access food, amidst reports of violence at aid distribution sites."
"More than six hundred Palestinians have been killed while attempting to collect aid, reflecting the extreme dangers surrounding humanitarian efforts in Gaza amid ongoing conflict and resource scarcity."
