WHO says malnutrition reaching ‘alarming levels’ in Gaza
GAZA STRIP, JUL 28 – Over 5,000 children under five were treated for malnutrition in early July with 18% suffering from the deadliest form, straining Gaza's limited healthcare amid aid blockades, WHO reported.
- In a Jul 27, 2025, report, WHO warned Gaza faces a severe malnutrition crisis with rising July deaths and overwhelmed treatment centers.
- Since May 27, desperate food searches have killed over 1,000 people and injured thousands, as June saw 6,500 child admissions, the highest since October 2023.
- Data shows 63 of this year’s 74 malnutrition-related deaths occurred in July, including 24 under-fives, while over 5,000 young children sought outpatient treatment in early July, according to the UN health agency.
- A limited 'tactical pause' was initiated by Israel to allow aid, and the Israel Defense Forces reported 120 aid trucks delivered food and medicine.
- The WHO called for sustained, diverse aid deliveries to Gaza, as all four specialised treatment centres are running low on fuel with supplies expected to run out by mid-next month.
