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, prohibiting the entry of food, shelter, and medical supplies, while continuing to carry out airstrikes in the area.
- Following Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, Israel imposed a blockade intended to compel Hamas to free the 59 hostages still held in Gaza.
- The blockade has caused community kitchens to close, bakeries to run out of fuel, families to wait hours for small food portions, and increased scavenging and looting.
- The U.N. Has identified approximately ten thousand children suffering from severe malnutrition, food prices have surged by up to 1,400%, and over 90% of Gaza’s residents have been forced to flee their homes.
- Israel plans to expand its operations and maintain control over Gaza for an unspecified time despite calls for an immediate ceasefire from hostage families and aid groups.
