Gaza Famine: Child Dies, Crisis Deepens | JQJO

Four-year-old Razan Abu Zaher died in Gaza from malnutrition, one of at least 76 children who have perished due to hunger since October 2023. The crisis worsened after March when Israel imposed a blockade, partially lifted in May, but aid remains insufficient. Israel claims Hamas steals aid, while the UN cites Israeli restrictions on aid distribution. Hospitals are overwhelmed, with thousands risking their lives daily to find food, resulting in numerous deaths from both starvation and Israeli gunfire. The UN and aid organizations report catastrophic famine levels and insufficient resources.
