The situation has deteriorated significantly following the suspension of milk and baby formula distribution programmes, which local health officials say are vital to preventing further deaths among infants and toddlers. Doctors at the hospital report a sharp rise in cases of acute malnutrition, with children showing signs of severe wasting, muscle loss, and stunted growth. Parents, many of whom are displaced and living in makeshift shelters, say they have no access to basic nutrition for their children. The hospital visit paints a devastating picture of Gaza’s collapsing healthcare system under siege, as the Israeli blockade continues to prevent the entry of aid and essential supplies. Medical staff warn the crisis is accelerating by the day, with children under five most at risk. Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 90 children have died since March due to malnutrition and dehydration, a toll expected to rise as food insecurity deepens across the Strip.
