The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has escalated with the United Nations declaring famine in the territory. Medical officials report alarming malnutrition rates among children, with the children's hospital at Nasser Medical Complex treating 120 malnutrition cases and calling for the establishment of 10 hospitals to address the crisis. Tens of thousands of children in displacement camps are affected. At Al-Shifa Medical Complex, over 110 children suffer from malnutrition, and one-third of newborns weigh less than 2.5 kilograms, a sharp increase from pre-war figures of 2–5%. The lack of access to nutritious food such as meat, eggs, and fruit has persisted for five months following a sudden halt in humanitarian aid since March. Families are struggling to feed their children, often surviving on just one meal a day. Charity organizations and aid coordinators highlight that children bear the greatest burden of this conflict, with community kitchens distributing limited food supplies like rice to desperate residents. Medical professionals and aid workers describe the situation as dire, emphasizing the long-term consequences for Gaza's children.
