Gaza – Saba:
Khalil Dafran, spokesperson for Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, stated today, Tuesday, that the Israeli occupation forces remain determined not to allow baby milk into the besieged Gaza Strip.
Dafran emphasized in press remarks published by the Saba news agency that the aid entering Gaza is not reaching those who truly need it.
He warned that nearly 300,000 people suffering from chronic diseases—most of whom are dying—are victims of severe malnutrition.
Earlier today, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza reported five new deaths in the past 24 hours due to starvation and malnutrition, including two children.
The Ministry noted that the total death toll from starvation and malnutrition has now reached 227, including 103 children, amid the ongoing blockade and harsh humanitarian conditions faced by Gaza’s population.
Hunger in Gaza is intensifying, while international organizations struggle to find ways to deliver aid, medicines, and nutritional supplements to starving children because of Israeli-imposed restrictions. This situation threatens the lives of thousands who lack proper nutrition.
With U.S. and European backing, the Israeli army has, since October 7, 2023, continued to commit crimes of genocide and a strict siege on Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 61,599 Palestinian civilians—mostly children and women—and injuries to 154,088 others. The toll remains incomplete as thousands of victims remain trapped under rubble and in the streets, unreachable by rescue and ambulance teams.
