At least 15 children dead from malnutrition, dehydration at Gaza hospital, says health ministry

At least 15 children have died over the past few days from malnutrition and dehydration at Gaza’s Kamal Adwan hospital, the Gaza health ministry has said in a statement, Reuters reports.

“We fear for the lives of 6 (other) children suffering from malnutrition and diarrhea at the hospital’s intensive care unit as a result of the cessation of the electric generator and oxygen and the weakness of medical capabilities,” Ashraf Al-Qidra, the Gaza health ministry spokesperson, said.
