KHAN YOUNIS, PALESTINE - SEPT. 17, 2025: A one-month-old Palestinian baby, Majid Zarab, lost his life on Wednesday, Sept. 17, due to malnutrition and starvation caused by Israel in the blockaded Gaza Strip.

Majid's body was transferred to al-Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis for funeral proceedings.

The famine-linked death toll since October 2023 rose to 428, including 146 children, the Health Ministry said recently.

Israel has sealed Gaza’s crossings since March 2, preventing food and aid trucks from entering despite hundreds waiting at the border. The move has exacerbated the humanitarian catastrophe in the enclave, leaving residents without access to basic supplies.

The Israeli army has killed nearly 65,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023. The relentless bombardment has rendered the enclave uninhabitable, and led to starvation and spread of diseases.
