The Palestinian Ministry of Health has said hospitals in Gaza have recorded 15 deaths, including those of four children, in Gaza due to starvation and malnutrition over the past 24 hours amid Israel’s blockade on the Strip, Al Jazeera reports.

That brings the total number of hunger-related deaths in the Strip to 101, including 80 children, since Israel launched its offensive on Gaza in October 2023.
