GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE - SEPT. 26: A 17-year-old Palestinian, identified as Hasan Ismail, died from malnutrition in Gaza on Friday, Sept. 26, amid severe food shortages caused by the ongoing blockade.

His body was brought to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah for burial procedures.

The enclave’s Health Ministry reported that four people, including Isil al-Arqa, died of starvation and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of deaths from hunger to 440, including 147 children.

The UN agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) said Friday that one in three children in the Gaza Strip had no food at all over the past 24 hours due to the lack of supplies caused by the Israeli blockade.

Israel has been starving Palestinians as part of a genocide it has waged against them for two years, killing 442 Palestinians as part of a wider toll of 65,502 killed and 167,376 injured, most of them women and children, in bloody attacks.

In a brief statement, UNRWA said: “According to a rapid needs assessment in #Gaza by the IRC, one in three young children went a full day without food in the past 24 hours.”

Since March 2, Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza, preventing food, medicine, and humanitarian aid from entering, plunging the enclave into famine despite the buildup of relief trucks at its borders.

Israel occasionally allows in very limited amounts of aid, but these fail to meet even the minimum needs of the starving population. Most trucks, moreover, are looted by gangs that Gaza’s authorities say are protected by Israel.

On Aug. 22, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) Global Initiative declared famine in Gaza City and warned it would spread to Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis by the end of September.
