US EditionMalnutrition among children in Gaza spikes as Israel's blockade enters third month
- Since March 2024, Israel has sealed off all access points to the Gaza Strip, preventing the delivery of essentials such as food, water, shelter, and medicine amid ongoing airstrikes.
- The blockade was imposed following Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, with the intention of compelling Hamas to free the 59 hostages, including 35 who have died, still held in Gaza.
- The blockade has intensified the humanitarian crisis, causing the shutdown of local cooking facilities, depletion of fuel supplies for bakeries, and significant delays for thousands of trucks waiting at the border.
- Malnutrition worsens as 3,600 children were treated for acute malnutrition last month and families, like Abdelaal's, face starvation with empty pots and dwindling supplies.
- Israel plans to expand its operations and maintain presence in Gaza, defying ceasefire calls from hostage families, while over 90% of Gaza's population has been displaced.
