JAKARTA - A Cross-Border Doctor's charity (MSF) operating in the Gaza Strip has seen a surge in cases of malnutrition. The note is based on the examination of local residents who depend on the lack of health institutions in the Palestinian area controlled by the Israeli military.
The medical aid group known for its French acronym, MSF, said Israel had deliberately conditioned its imprisoned Gaza population experiencing acute hunger. Unprecedented conditions.
"From examining children aged six months to five years and pregnant and lactating women at the MSF facility last week, 25 percent were malnourished," the MSF statement said Friday, July 25, quoted from AFP.
Based on the statement, the MSF clinic in Gaza found that the number of people who were self-examined or examined by their health workers was malnourished.
"This rare case has quadrupled since mid-May, while "the rate of severe malnutrition in children under five has tripled in just the last two weeks," the MSF said.
"This is not just hunger. It is intentional hunger, engineered by Israeli authorities," the organization reports.

MSF mengingatkan bahwa saat ini, "almost tidak ada makanan yang tersedia di sebagian besar wilayah tersebut."
MSF emphasized that Israel's efforts to confine Gaza's population of humanitarian aid in the form of food, clean water, suitable clothing, as well as hygienic medicines and sanitation should not be extended.
"Food weapons to suppress civilian population should not be normalized. Israeli authorities must allow food and aid supplies to enter Gaza on a large scale," the MSF statement said.
