GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE - JUNE 30, 2025: Child malnutrition is on the rise in Nuseirat Refugee Camp in the central Gaza Strip, as Israel’s months-long blockade and the closure of all border crossings continue to restrict access to essential supplies. Footage shows severely malnourished children receiving treatment at Al Awda Hospital in Jabalia, as families urgently call for humanitarian aid to save their lives. At least 66 Palestinian children have died from acute malnutrition in the Gaza Strip under Israel’s blockade since October 2023, local authorities said recently, as severe shortages of food, medical supplies and baby formula continue to grip the enclave. The infant deaths reflect the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where Israel has imposed a siege since Oct. 7, 2023, tightening restrictions on aid and fuel. World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said an estimated 112 children are being admitted to Gaza hospitals each day for malnutrition treatment. Israel has kept Gaza’s main crossings largely closed since March 2, blocking hundreds of aid and supply trucks. UN agencies say Gaza requires at least 500 trucks daily to meet basic needs, but often fewer than 50 are allowed to enter. Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli military has carried out a deadly offensive on Gaza since October, killing more than 56,400 Palestinians, most of them women and children, according to Gaza health officials. The International Criminal Court in November issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice over its war on the enclave. Reporting by Fadel A. A. Almaghari / Writing by Aleyna Cil
