3. VARIOUS OF DEAD BODY OF CHILD AT MORGUE GAZA, PALESTINE - AUG. 31, 2025: One more Palestinian child died of hunger and malnutrition on Sunday, Aug. 31, in the blockaded Gaza Strip, where Israel’s attacks and siege continue.

Sources at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said Sheyma al-Ashram died after being deprived of food and denied access to essential medical care as a result of Israel’s starvation policy.

Seven more Palestinians died of malnutrition caused by a choking Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours, the Health Ministry said on Sunday.

In a statement, the ministry said that the new fatalities brought the famine-related death toll since October 2023 to 339, including 124 children.

Famine has been confirmed in northern Gaza, and is projected to expand to Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis in central and southern Gaza by the end of September, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).

After 22 months of relentless conflict, the IPC said over half a million people in Gaza are facing starvation, destitution, and death. Another 1.07 million people - over half the population - are facing emergency levels of acute food insecurity.

Israel has kept all crossings into Gaza closed since March 2, blocking the entry of humanitarian aid despite thousands of relief trucks waiting at the border. In recent weeks, Tel Aviv has allowed in only limited quantities of assistance, which officials say do not cover even the minimum needs of the territory’s 2.4 million population.

Israel has killed nearly 63,400 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine.

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.
