WHO Chief Warns of ‘Catastrophic Hunger’ in Gaza
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said “catastrophic hunger” is looming in Gaza, with 8,000 children under five years old suffering acute malnutrition in the war-torn territory.
In the north of the Gaza Strip, a government official said food shortages have reached a crisis point as most food commodities have run out.
This comes as Gaza’s government says that 15,694 children have been killed and 17,000 are without parents after 250 days of Israel’s war on Gaza.
At least 37,202 people have been killed and 84,932 wounded in the Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 7.
