The two children passed away at Kamal Adwan
Hospital in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza, succumbing to malnutrition,
dehydration, and a critical shortage of medical supplies. The situation in Gaza
has been deteriorating rapidly, with humanitarian conditions reaching a
critical point and pushing the region to the brink of famine.
Gaza Strip has been under relentless Israeli
aggression since October 7, 2023, exacerbating an already dire situation. The
ongoing war has resulted in severe shortages of food, water, medicine, and
fuel, making life untenable for the Palestinian population.
As a consequence of the continuous
hostilities, Palestinians, particularly those in the northern part and Gaza
Strip, are facing acute food shortages, pushing them to the verge of
starvation. The dire scarcity of essential resources has forced over 1.3 million
Palestinians to flee from northern Gaza to the southern part, seeking refuge in
areas like Rafah.
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) has not
only obstructed humanitarian aid from entering Gaza but has also targeted
Palestinians awaiting the arrival of these crucial supplies. This deliberate
targeting has led to the killing and injury of hundreds of individuals, further
exacerbating the humanitarian crisis gripping the region.
Preliminary reports indicate that the death
toll in the Gaza Strip has soared to 31,112 killed, with a significant number
being children and women, whereas the number of injuries has surged to 72,760
since October 7.
