Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians eat only one meal every two or three days amid a crippling Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said.

“More than 66,000 children in Gaza are suffering from severe malnutrition,” UNRWA spokesman Adnan Abu Hasna told Al-Ghad TV in an interview.
Since 2 March, Israel has kept Gaza’s crossings completely sealed, banning the entry of food, water, medical and humanitarian aid, deepening an already dire humanitarian crisis in the enclave, according to government, human rights and international reports.
Figures released by Gaza’s government media office showed that at least 57 Palestinians have died of starvation since October 2023.
Nearly 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza live completely dependent on humanitarian aid, according to World Bank data.
