The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees says in a post on X that without urgent care, children in Gaza can die, as it urged Israeli authorities to allow thousands of trucks waiting to bring lifesaving aid into Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

In a separate post, it said that a 7-month-old girl, Salam, suffering from serious acute malnutrition and being treated by UNRWA’s teams, had died today while being treated by its teams.

It says she is one of thousands of malnourished children in Gaza, with more cases detected every day.
