Hunger and malnutrition stalk Gazans, a year on from ceasefire
UN data shows 1.4 million people are acutely food insecure as families in Gaza survive on one meal and rationed flour.
- In a report published Thursday, Medecins du Monde found 93 percent of pregnant or breastfeeding women suffer from anaemia, a condition linked to malnutrition one year after the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel failed to resolve Gaza's humanitarian crisis.
- While some food enters Gaza, a lack of nutritional variety poses a severe health threat. Shaun Hughes, of the World Food Programme, explained that residents "cannot survive on dry goods and wheat flour and bread alone."
- Recent figures from July show 1.4 million people are acutely food insecure, with 200,000 "just one step below famine," Hughes said, while just 17 percent have a sufficiently varied diet to meet nutritional needs.
- Gazan mother Niyaha al-Masri spends six hours daily queueing at a community kitchen for her family of 10, telling AFP that without this aid, she and her eight children would have "nothing at all."
- At Nasser hospital, malnutrition unit head Israa al-Najjar told AFP she "observed an increase in syndromes and conditions" linked to malnutrition, though the Israeli defence ministry organisation COGAT told AFP the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains stable.
