US EditionGaza’s Starving Children Face Permanent Damage From Chronic Hunger
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 29 – The United Nations and Israel dispute causes of malnutrition in Gaza amid a blockade limiting aid delivery, with UN reporting 63 malnutrition deaths this month including 24 children under five.
- A viral image of 18-month-old Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq appearing severely malnourished in Gaza has drawn international attention to the humanitarian crisis.
- The crisis worsened after Israel blocked aid for months, amid ongoing conflict that began in October 2023 and military actions resuming after an alleged humanitarian pause ended.
- Muhammad suffers from preexisting genetic disorders including cerebral palsy, with his condition exacerbated by food and medical shortages, while deaths from malnutrition continue to rise in Gaza.

- The image of Muhammad remains a symbol of the crisis, drawing global reactions while sparking debate over the interplay of medical vulnerability and the impact of the blockade on Gaza's approximately two million residents.

The Zionist lobby is now coming for a disabled toddler in its latest desperate move
