GAZA STRIP, PALESTINIAN TERRITORY, JUL 30 – The ongoing Israeli blockade has caused 154 starvation deaths in Gaza, including 89 children, with one-third of the population facing severe food shortages, the UN World Food Program said.
- The Gaza Health Ministry reported that seven more Palestinians died from malnutrition in the past 24 hours, bringing total famine deaths to 154, including 89 children.
- This acute malnutrition crisis escalated due to Israel's total blockade on Gaza since March 2023, limiting food, medical supplies, and aid deliveries amid ongoing conflict.
- Hospitals like Nasser Medical Complex admitted dozens of severely malnourished children recently, with supplies for treating severe acute malnutrition running critically low and babies suffering from lack of specialized formulas.

- Experts warn that without urgent, scaled-up humanitarian aid and a ceasefire, malnutrition deaths will soar and the long-term health consequences for Gaza's children will be severe and lasting.
