At least seven new cases of child malnutrition have been reported in Gaza as the humanitarian situation in the besieged territory continues to deteriorate rapidly, according to health officials at Nasser Hospital. Ongoing Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip have killed at least 23 Palestinians since dawn, including a deadly air strike on a tent sheltering civilians. Health authorities confirmed that the strike claimed the lives of at least 10 people, most of them women and children. Medical professionals warn that Gaza's healthcare system is on the verge of collapse. Hospitals are overwhelmed and under-resourced, struggling to cope with the growing number of wounded and the spread of malnutrition among children. Food scarcity has reached critical levels. What little food remains is now unaffordable for many, with prices reportedly more than doubling. "Parents are unable to feed their children," said one resident, adding that most community kitchens that once provided hot meals have either shut down or been destroyed by Israeli strikes. Desperate scenes are unfolding across Gaza, as people roam the streets in search of food. The lack of nutrition is taking a visible toll on children. Medical staff noted that in several new malnutrition cases, parents had not recognized the signs until their children began experiencing symptoms such as persistent headaches and vomiting. Health workers and local residents alike say the current crisis marks the most severe humanitarian conditions in Gaza since the start of Israel’s military campaign.
