At least 32 children have died from symptoms of malnutrition in Gazaamong them 28 children under five years oldThe World Health Organization (WHO) condemned it on Wednesday.
“More than 8,000 children under five years of age have been diagnosed with acute malnutrition, of which 1,600 are severely malnourished.”WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated this at a press conference, adding that Lack of security and access restrictions significantly reduce the ability to care for many of these minors.
Currently, only two centers can operate in the Gaza Strip to care for malnourished patients.“, indicated the head of the UN health agency, who confirmed the serious consequences that the WHO’s lack of access to the strip has on the population of Gaza, as well as the lack of drinking water and medical equipment.
Tedros assured that despite recent information that there is talk of increasing food aid supplies to Gaza “There is no evidence that it is reaching those who need it most in the quantity or quality needed.”
The CEO also wanted to remind at his weekly press conference about extreme situation in the West BankWhere Since the October 7 attacks, there have been 480 attacks on health infrastructure in Israel. they were responsible for 16 of the 580 violent deaths that occurred in the territory over the past eight months.
“In much of the West Bank, clinics are only open two days a week, and hospitals are operating at 70% capacity.”said the Ethiopian expert, who also stressed that the expansion of illegal settlements during these months of conflict also affected the Palestinian population’s access to health care.
