Parents of children suffering from malnutrition in Gaza have been trying to find relief at UN medical centres but say Israel’s forced evacuation orders are making their situation worse.

“The reason behind my daughter’s condition is displacement. We fled from the north to Rafah and then to Deir el-Balah, where we lived in a tent,” said the mother of Misk al-Madhoun, a malnourished child.

“Her malnutrition worsened due to prolonged displacement, lack of food, and financial hardship since my husband’s work stopped during the war”, she told Al Jazeera.
