Al-Najjar’s weight dropped from about 16 kilograms to just 7 before he died while receiving treatment at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis. His death highlights the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where the prolonged Israeli blockade and severe shortages of food and medicine have pushed residents to the brink of famine. The Gaza Health Ministry said Monday the death toll from hunger and malnutrition had risen to 222, including 101 children, after five more Palestinians died in the last 24 hours. Since March 2, Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza, blocking the entry of humanitarian aid and pushing the territory into famine conditions, despite relief trucks accumulating at the border. Only limited deliveries have been allowed, far short of the population’s needs. The World Food Program said one-third of the population has gone days without eating, calling the situation “unprecedented” in the levels of hunger and desperation. The UN estimates hundreds of aid trucks must enter daily to end the famine caused by the blockade and war. Israel is facing mounting condemnation for its genocidal war on Gaza, where it has killed nearly 61,500 victims since October 2023. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
