US EditionUN Finds Rising Child Malnutrition in Gaza, Where Officials Say Israeli Strikes Kill 93 People
GAZA STRIP, JUL 15 – UN agency UNRWA reports malnutrition in 10% of children screened amid ongoing blockade restricting food and medical supplies in Gaza, worsening child health outcomes.
- On Tuesday, Gaza's Health Ministry reported 93 people killed and 278 wounded by Israeli strikes amid rising child malnutrition in Gaza.
- These strikes followed Israel's March resumption of war after Hamas attacked in October 2023, with Israel imposing sharp food restrictions causing malnutrition to double.
- UNRWA screened nearly 16,000 children under five in June, finding 10.2% acutely malnourished, up from 5.5% in March during the tightened blockade.
- New Israeli strikes also killed 19 family members in Gaza City’s Tel al-Hawa district and struck Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, killing 12 including seven Syrians, targeting Hezbollah compounds.
- These events sustain severe humanitarian crises and highlight urgent needs for food and medical supplies amid no ceasefire breakthrough after recent US-Israel talks.
