The death of a child as a result of starvation in the Gaza Strip

The child Abdul Qader Al-Sarhi (13 years old) died in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, as a result of starvation.


Medical sources confirmed today, Saturday, that the death toll from malnutrition and dehydration had risen to 37 martyrs in the Gaza Strip, stressing that the announced toll reflects only what reaches hospitals, and that dozens are dying silently, as a result of famine, without being able to reach hospitals.


Medical sources announced that the health situation in the Gaza Strip went from bad to worse, with the expansion of military operations in the city of Rafah towards the west, and all its hospitals being out of service.


The Israeli occupation has continued to close the Rafah crossing for 26 days, amid warnings of a worsening humanitarian situation, due to the lack of flow of life-saving supplies to citizens in various parts, especially in the areas of the northern Gaza Strip, which face the threat of real famine.
