At least 101 Palestinians, including 80 children, have died of starvation in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

Nebal Farsakh, a spokesperson for the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS), said people in the enclave are facing an “unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe” and warned the “situation is only getting worse”.

“Since the closure of all crossing for more than four months, there has been no food, no clean water, medicine … getting into the Gaza Strip,” Farsakh said in a video shared on social media.

“This has resulted to a catastrophe where people are literally starving to death,” she said.

“More people are being admitted to hospitals with malnutrition, especially among children, pregnant women and elderly,” she added.
