Palestinian medical sources announced on Saturday that eight Palestinians had died as a result of famine and malnutrition in Gaza Strip hospitals over the past 24 hours, according to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA).
The same sources reported that the total number of victims of famine and malnutrition in Gaza has risen to 281, including 114 children.
It is worth noting that the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip continues to worsen, due to the blockade and shortages of food and medical supplies. The severe famine is intertwined with the genocidal war waged by the Zionist entity since October 7, 2023.
The United Nations and international experts officially declared a widespread famine in the Gaza Strip on Friday, the first time such a situation has been declared in the Middle East.
