Gaza: 25% Children Are Malnourished, Says MSF
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 25 – Doctors Without Borders reported a 25% malnutrition rate among screened children and mothers in Gaza clinics amid ongoing conflict and blockade, with severe cases tripling recently.
- On July 25, Doctors Without Borders revealed that one in four children under five and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding in Gaza are suffering from malnutrition amid strict limitations on aid.
- This malnutrition surge follows Israeli authorities restricting aid entry and ongoing violence that has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians seeking food aid near distribution sites.
- Médecins Sans Frontières stated that malnutrition rates have tripled in two weeks, with their Gaza City clinic's caseload for malnutrition quadrupling since mid-May.
- Caroline Willemen reported that the clinic is admitting 25 additional patients daily who are suffering from malnutrition, highlighting the growing strain and fatigue experienced by both the patients and healthcare staff.
- The worsening hunger crisis and rising deaths from malnutrition suggest urgent need for unimpeded aid delivery to prevent further catastrophic health outcomes in Gaza.
