A 2 1/2-year-old girl in Gaza died of severe malnutrition, highlighting the dire humanitarian crisis. Doctors in Gaza report a surge in severely malnourished children, many with no pre-existing conditions. While Israel recently increased food supplies into Gaza after a two-and-a-half-month blockade, the UN warns starvation and malnutrition are at their highest levels since the war began. Netanyahu denies widespread hunger, claiming reports are Hamas propaganda, but experts and aid organizations disagree, citing thousands of acutely malnourished children needing urgent medical intervention. An upcoming Israeli offensive threatens to worsen the situation.
