Gaza’s Starving Children: Malnutrition Skyrockets Amidst Aid Blockade

  • UNICEF reported that from January to May 2025, 16,736 children in Gaza were admitted for malnutrition treatment amid ongoing conflict and blockade.
  • This rise follows the tightened siege imposed in February 2025, which restricted aid entry, closed treatment centers, and depleted fuel supplies critical for medical operations.
  • Only 127 of 236 nutrition centers remain open, and disease outbreaks like acute watery diarrhea and hepatitis A have increased due to collapsing water and health infrastructure.
  • UNICEF's Edouard Beigbeder emphasized that all these incidents could be avoided, while UN spokesperson Dujarric highlighted that 1,000 truckloads of essential supplies remain stuck at Gaza’s border crossings.
  • The UN and UNICEF urge all parties to respect humanitarian law and ensure immediate aid access to prevent further avoidable child deaths and worsening malnutrition.
