The total number of hunger-related deaths in the Gaza Strip rose to 258, including 110 children, according to Gaza-based health authorities on Sunday. Seven more people died from famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, including two children, the health authorities said. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said Saturday on social media platform X, one million women and girls are facing mass starvation, violence and abuse in Gaza. "Hunger is spreading fast in Gaza ... Women and girls are forced to adopt increasingly dangerous survival strategies like venturing out in search of food and water at the extreme risk of being killed," UNRWA said. The organization urged the lifting of the Israeli blockade on Gaza, home to more than two million people, and bringing in humanitarian aid "at scale."
