US EditionMalnutrition among children in Gaza spikes as Israel's blockade enters third month
- Israel's blockade of Gaza entered its third month on May 2025, severely restricting access to food and medical supplies across the region.
- The blockade began on March 2, following a two-month ceasefire that ended as Israel resumed military operations to pressure Hamas for hostages' release.
- Since the blockade started, over 9,000 children have been treated for acute malnutrition, with cases rising 80% in March compared to February amid shuttered nutrition centers and depleted prevention supplies.
- Michael Ryan from the WHO warned that the ongoing situation is severely harming the physical and mental health of Gaza's children, while local medical staff report being overwhelmed and unable to adequately treat many patients, including critical cases like Khaled who suffer from extreme malnutrition.
- The blockade's ongoing enforcement and supply shortages suggest worsening malnutrition and increased child mortality unless access improves and humanitarian aid resumes.
