During a press conference held in Gaza, the ministry said of the total number of children killed, 908 are children under one-year-old and 311 children were born and killed during the war. The Palestinian health ministry urged the world to help as Israel continues to target and kill children and block aid from entering the besieged strip, leading to the starvation and severe malnutrition of thousands of children. Israel continues to prevent polio vaccines from reaching children in Gaza, the ministry added, threatening to collapse all efforts to combat the disease. The health ministry also pressed for urgent action as several key medical facilities in the besieged strip are out of service due to targeted strikes, leading to the loss of care for pregnant women subjecting them to high-risk pregnancies. Pregnant women are especially vulnerable to the situation, with cases of maternal deaths, miscarriages, pre-term and low-birth weight rising as the healthcare system in Gaza is collapsing following relentless attacks by Israeli forces.
