UNICEF finds 90pc of Gazan children lack food needed for proper growth
UNICEF reported that 9 out of 10 children in Gaza are suffering from severe food poverty, surviving on two or fewer food groups per day, due to the collapse of food and health systems caused by months of hostilities and restrictions on humanitarian aid. This alarming situation puts children at risk of life-threatening malnutrition and highlights the devastating impact of the conflict on children’s access to proper nutrition for healthy growth and development.
