GAZA: A young girl from Khan Younis in southern Gaza died today due to severe malnutrition and inadequate medical care, according to medical sources.

This tragic event raises the total number of children who have died from malnutrition in the war-torn region to 37. Medical sources reported that the girl, identified as Yaqin al-As?al, succumbed to both malnutrition and dehydration amidst a severe shortage of supplies.

Gaza has been enduring an ongoing Israeli onslaught since October 7, 2023, leading to an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. The ongoing aggression has resulted in extreme shortages of food, water, medicine, and fuel, pushing the region to the brink of famine.
