Gaza Blockade Doubles Child Malnutrition, Airstrikes Kill Dozens

The UN reports malnutrition rates among Gaza children have doubled since Israel tightened its blockade in March, impacting over 10% of children under five screened. Recent Israeli airstrikes killed at least 93 Palestinians, including numerous women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Israel says it targets militants but the strikes frequently hit homes and shelters. The blockade, despite slight easing, allows far fewer supplies than needed, causing widespread hunger. While Israel blames Hamas, the UN highlights difficulties in aid distribution due to restrictions. Separate incidents include the killing of a Palestinian-American by Israeli settlers and Israeli strikes in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.
