Over the past 24 hours, Israeli forces have conducted three attacks resulting in the deaths of 30 Palestinians and injuries to 146 others. Rescue and civil defense teams are struggling to reach victims trapped beneath the rubble.
The Gaza Government Media Office had previously warned that 3,500 children are at risk of dying from malnutrition and starvation, with 34 children already reported to have starved to death. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has raised alarms about the severe impact of hunger on Palestinian mothers and children, including a rise in premature and low-weight births.
The UNFPA stated in a social media post that malnutrition is posing grave risks to pregnant women and newborns, leading to increased stillbirths, low-weight babies, and children suffering from wasting and delayed growth. The organization has called for a ceasefire, highlighting it as crucial for saving lives in Gaza. (ILKHA)
