UN reports 95,000 child malnutrition cases in Gaza Strip

The UN has reported alarming levels of child malnutrition in the Gaza Strip, with nearly 95,000 cases identified in 2025, exacerbated by harsh winter conditions. UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric highlighted that urgent needs persist, with 4,900 cases of acute malnutrition detected last month. He called for increased supplies and funding to transition from emergency to recovery efforts while stressing the critical need for educational resources amid ongoing Israeli restrictions. A ceasefire effective since October 10 aims to halt violence that has resulted in over 71,000 deaths, predominantly affecting women and children.
