Health authorities say eight more people, including two children, die from malnutrition after famine declared in Gaza. At least 37 Palestinians, including 10 seeking aid, have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza, medical sources told Al Jazeera, as health authorities in the besieged territory recorded eight more deaths from malnutrition amid a deepening hunger crisis.

Palestinian health authorities said on Saturday that eight more Palestinians, including two children, died from malnutrition over the past 24 hours, raising the total death toll to 281 since the onset of the humanitarian crisis. Munir al-Bursh, the director-general of Gaza's Health Ministry, said on social media that among the victims, 114 are children. The famine is silently ravaging the bodies of civilians, depriving children of their right to life, and turning tents and hospitals into daily scenes of tragedy, he added.
