10,000 children in Gaza City diagnosed with acute malnutrition in past two months – UNICEF

The United Nations Children’s Fund reports that over 10,000 children in Gaza City have been diagnosed with acute malnutrition in the past two months alone.

The agency warns that if disconnected from their treatment, there is a high risk that some of the 2,400 children currently being treated for severe acute malnutrition in the area could starve to death.

Meanwhile, 11,000 people evacuated Gaza City southward between 2:00 p.m. Wednesday and 2:00 p.m. Thursday, UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric says during a briefing.

Yesterday, a UN team successfully delivered fuel to a series of critical service providers in Gaza City — a rarity during the war, as Israel limits the entry of fuel due to concerns that it is used by Hamas fighters.

The fuel is used to operate hospitals and other health facilities, and for water treatment, trucking, desalination and waste management. (The Times of Israel)
