The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Saturday the recording of 10 new deaths, including three children, due to famine and malnutrition in the Strip over the past 24 hours.
The ministry said in a statement: “This brings the death toll from famine to 332, including 124 children.” It noted that since the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) declared famine in the Gaza Strip on August 22, 54 deaths have been recorded, including nine children.
The ministry confirmed that the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip continues to worsen due to the blockade and shortages of food and medical supplies, renewing its call for immediate and urgent intervention from the international community and relief organizations.
