Acute child malnutrition in northern Gaza doubles in one month, UNICEF says
The UN agency warns malnutrition crisis worsens across Gaza, with dramatic rises in affected children under two and under five.
One in three children under the age of two in the northern Gaza Strip suffers from acute malnutrition, the United Nations’ children agency has warned, as Israel’s total blockade of aid enters its third week.
“The speed at which this catastrophic child malnutrition crisis in Gaza has unfolded is shocking, especially when desperately needed assistance has been at the ready just a few miles away,” said Catherine Russell, UNICEF’s executive director.
