United Nations human rights experts said on Tuesday that famine has spread throughout the Gaza Strip.

Experts pointed out that the death of a child due to malnutrition and dehydration indicates that health and social structures have been attacked and seriously weakened.

It also announced that fifty children are suffering from malnutrition and starvation in the northern Gaza Strip, while symptoms of malnutrition have been recorded in more than 200 children in the Gaza Strip.
