Geneva - Saba:
The World Health Organization (WHO) has revealed alarming figures regarding the spread of malnutrition among children in the Gaza Strip. Since the beginning of the year, nearly 10,000 children have been diagnosed with malnutrition, including approximately 1,400 suffering from severe malnutrition requiring immediate medical intervention and treatment.
According to its official website, the organization warned on Wednesday that children who reach the stage of severe malnutrition without treatment face the risk of death. Despite the availability of three treatment centers, the number of children receiving treatment is lower than expected, often due to difficulty in access or repeated displacement, leading to a lack of access.
