Kamal Adwan Hospital Director Hussam Abu Safiya said that 7 Palestinian children died due to malnutrition.
The number of children who died of hunger in the north of the Gaza Strip and Gaza city, where humanitarian aid could not be delivered due to Israel's obstacles, increased to 13.
Ashraf al-Qudra, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, made evaluations on the issue in his statement.
"Occupied Israel has started a new war against the people of Gaza, and it is a war of starvation. The number of martyrs as a result of terrorist Israel's starvation war is increasing, especially among children, and there are many children in intensive care who are at risk of death due to hunger," Qudra said.
Qudra emphasized that despite the insistence of international organizations, the murderer Israel hinders the efforts of humanitarian aid organizations to deliver aid.
"The healthcare system in the north of Gaza is completely inadequate, especially after the Kemal Advan Hospital went out of service," Qudra added.
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SERVICE!
The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced yesterday that the number of Palestinian children martyred due to malnutrition and dehydration in the north of Gaza increased to 6.
4 of the children lost their lives in the Kemal Advan Hospital, which was out of service due to lack of fuel, and 2 of them died in the Şifa Hospital in Gaza, which was seriously damaged by the Israeli army raid.
There is a humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip, with a population of approximately 2.3 million, as the Israeli army has continued its attacks for 146 days, targeting civilian settlements, hospitals, schools and shelters where displaced Palestinians take shelter, as well as preventing the entry of humanitarian aid.
It is stated that the number of Palestinians martyred in the attacks of the terrorist Israeli army exceeded 30 thousand, the number of injured exceeded 70 thousand, and thousands of people disappeared under the rubble.
ISRAEL PUT 31 HOSPITALS OFF SERVICE
International circles, especially UN organizations, are calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and increasing the entry of humanitarian aid to the region due to diseases triggered by hunger, thirst and lack of hygiene materials, where most hospitals are out of service, there is a lack of medical supplies.
Although the provisional injunctions ruled by the International Court of Justice against the murderer Israel on January 26 included ensuring access to humanitarian aid in Gaza, it states that the aid entering Gaza in February decreased by half compared to January.
The occupying Israeli army has targeted 152 healthcare institutions in Gaza in its attacks since October 7, 2023, leaving 31 hospitals out of service.
