Gaza: Latest Israeli occupation offensives on the Gaza Strip have resulted in the deaths of 41 Palestinians, as authorities express grave concerns about the imminent threat of death for thousands of residents, particularly infants, due to food scarcity and malnutrition.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the official Palestinian News and Information Agency (WAFA) reported that among the latest victims were eight individuals who perished while waiting outside food distribution centers in Gaza. Tragically, a baby named Mohammad Adas succumbed to severe malnutrition and lack of milk at Al-Shifaa Hospital. WAFA cited hospital sources stating that the hunger-related death toll in the strip has reached 134, with 88 of these fatalities being infants.
The Palestinian Government Press Office has issued warnings that thousands of children in Gaza are at risk of dying due to the ongoing Israeli occupation siege and the critical shortage of milk. In a statement, the office highlighted that up to 40,000 babies face a "slow death" because of the blockade.
While some aid supplies have been transported into the enclave via the Rafah crossing, Palestinian authorities stress that these provisions fall significantly short of meeting the nutritional needs of the approximately two million Gazans.
