ALBAWABA - A 40-day-old child died of malnutrition on Tuesday morning at Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza amid the lack of baby formula and adequate nutrition, Al Jazeera reported.
Infant Youssef Mohammed Al-Safadi was announced dead today in Gaza, raising the number of children who died of hunger to 77.
The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced that 20 people died of starvation in just 48 hours.
Earlier, the health ministry warned that what is happening in Gaza is a systematic starvation policy that has so far resulted in 86 deaths from starvation, including 76 children.
Moreover, an Al Jazeera correspondent from the strip said that there are new cases of people showing symptoms of severe fatigue and sudden fainting while searching for flour in the streets of Gaza.
The number of famine victims in Gaza is increasing amid Israel's continued blockade of humanitarian aid access to the strip, despite international organizations' warnings of a widespread famine.
Yesterday, the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis announced the death of Raheel Muhammad Rasras, 32, from complications of severe malnutrition and dehydration.
