Malnutrition and famine cases continue to arrive at hospitals in Gaza, where 900,000 children suffer from hunger, 70,000 of whom are in a state of malnutrition.

The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) previously warned that malnutrition among children under five had doubled between March and June due to the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.
