UNICEF says children face ‘growing risk of starvation, illness and death’ as Israel bars food and other aid deliveries.
The UN warns that Palestinian children in Gaza are at heightened risk of starvation and illness due to Israel’s ongoing blockade of essential supplies, now in its third month. UNICEF reports over 9,000 children treated for acute malnutrition this year, exacerbated by relentless bombardments and a total aid blockade. The situation is dire as legal experts condemn the blockade as a violation of international law, with many children lacking vital nutrients, leading to fears of increasing casualties.
