Gaza - Saba:
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Saturday that the death toll from famine in the Strip has risen to 169, including 93 children.
The ministry said in a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) that hospitals in the Gaza Strip recorded 7 new deaths due to famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, including one child.
The ministry stressed that the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip continues to worsen under the blockade and shortages of food and medical supplies, renewing its call for immediate and urgent intervention by the international community and relief organizations. Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been facing an unprecedented wave of hunger since the Israeli enemy closed the Strip's crossings in early March and imposed severe restrictions on the entry of food and relief aid, fuel, and medicine.
Over time, Gazans have exhausted all food supplies, shops have become empty, and finding a loaf of bread has become almost impossible.
Meanwhile, available goods have seen skyrocketing prices, with "death by starvation" becoming one of the most devastating causes of death in the Strip.
