Victims Died As A Result Of Obsession In Gaza Continues To Increase

JAKARTA - Hospitals in the Gazadalam Strip recorded seven deaths a day back, two of whom were still children, bringing the total number of people who died from hunger and malnutrition to 251 people, including 110 children.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to deteriorate amid the Israeli siege, as well as the ongoing food and medicine supply crisis.

Since March 2, Israeli authorities have closed all borders with the Gaza Strip and are absent from entering most food and medical humanitarian aids. As a result, catastrophic hunger is rampant in the region.

UNRWA warns that cases of malnutrition among children aged 5 years and under doubled in March to June due to a siege by Israel which is still ongoing.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) also warns that the level of malnutrition in Gaza has reached an alarming rate, including 1 in 5 children under five who are under five suffering from acute malnutrition.

Since the beginning of the Israeli Zionist aggression in October 2023, the death toll in Gaza has reached 61,897 people, the majority of women and children. Meanwhile, at least 155,660 others were injured.

The data is still incomplete because there are still many victims trapped under the rubble and unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams.
