Gaza health ministry warns at least 60,000 children face malnutrition crisis

Gaza’s Ministry of Health has warned that a severe lack of food and clean water is worsening the health crisis in the besieged enclave.

The ministry says at least 60,000 children are at risk of serious complications from malnutrition, as Israel’s blockade continues to choke the flow of food and medical supplies.

With crossings shut and aid severely restricted, doctors are sounding the alarm over worsening hunger and dehydration, particularly among infants.

Aid agencies have repeatedly urged for immediate humanitarian access, but deliveries remain sporadic with Israel using aid as a weapon of war.
