Due to malnutrition, the Israeli siege and a lack of a suitable environment, four fetuses and three premature babies have died in Gaza’s Nasser Medical Complex, Al Jazeera reports.

According to Gaza’s health ministry, at least 422 people, including 145 children, have died due to the ongoing hunger crisis.

Since the UN-backed IPC report last month that officially declared famine in northern Gaza, at least 144 deaths have been recorded, including 30 children.
