Gaza’s main hospital is overwhelmed with children in pain from malnutrition

On May 21, 2025, Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, faces overwhelming cases of malnourished children amid a humanitarian crisis.
This crisis follows 19 months of war and a severe Israeli blockade that has banned food, medicine, and goods from entering Gaza for over two months.
Hospitals operate at full capacity with shortages of medical supplies and baby formula, while families like the Al-Arja and Namleh suffer from extreme food insecurity.
A leading international authority on hunger crises has indicated that up to 71,000 children suffering from malnutrition and nearly 17,000 pregnant or breastfeeding women will require treatment for acute malnutrition through March 2026.
Experts caution Gaza risks famine if military campaigns and blockades persist, while U.N. Agencies report current humanitarian aid is insufficient to meet urgent needs.
