15 dead, including 4 children, of malnutrition in Gaza over the past 24 hours, Hamas-run ministry says
GAZA STRIP, JUL 22 – Israeli military strikes in Gaza’s Al-Shati camp and Deir el-Balah killed 15 Palestinians amid a 21-month war that has claimed over 59,000 lives, mostly civilians, officials said.
- At least 15 individuals, among them four children, have lost their lives due to starvation and malnutrition in Gaza over the last 24 hours amid continued Israeli attacks on the region.
- The conflict began with a Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, which killed around 1,219 people and led to a prolonged Israeli military campaign in Gaza.
- Israeli military operations expanded into areas previously considered relatively safe, including Deir el-Balah, where skirmishes and shelling have caused civilian casualties and displacement.
- Palestinian health officials have reported that Israeli strikes over the last day have resulted in 72 fatalities and 376 injuries, while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres cautioned that critical support systems sustaining life in Gaza are failing.
- The humanitarian crisis has worsened with severe shortages of food and medicine, displacement of tens of thousands, and calls by religious and UN leaders to end the war and address civilian suffering.
