In the same time period, at least eight people, including three children, have starved to death in the territory, bringing the total count of hunger-related deaths to 235, including 106 children.

Israel’s offensive on Gaza has killed a total of 61,722 Palestinians and injured 154,525 since October 7, 2023, the ministry added.
