The warning comes as the Gaza Strip’s Health Ministry registers more cases of paralysis due to malnutrition caused by Israeli blockade.
The UN has warned that all children under five in Gaza, numbering around 320,000, are at risk of life-threatening malnutrition due to ongoing Israeli blockades, with reports of starvation-related deaths rising. Hospitals have recorded deaths from malnutrition and paralysis, and aid access has been severely restricted, leading to a catastrophic humanitarian situation.
