Medical workers in Gaza say children are suffering from widespread malnutrition, Al Jazeera reports.

Ziyad Majaida, a paediatrician in Khan Younis, told The Associated Press that children need 1g to 2g of protein for each kilogramme they weigh each day from foods such as meat, eggs, dairy and fish.

“Of course, these things are unfortunately unavailable due to the closure of the crossings for more than two months,” he said.
