Another child dies of starvation in Gaza

The Wafa news agency is reporting that a six-year-old child has died of starvation, dehydration and a lack of medical supplies at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza.

The child’s death takes the total number of Palestinians who’ve died from malnutrition since Israel’s war on Gaza to 41, the agency said.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees said in June that more than 50,000 children in the Gaza Strip require immediate medical treatment for acute malnutrition.
