The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Tuesday the registration of three more deaths due to famine and malnutrition, all of whom were adults, within the last 24 hours.
In a statement, the ministry noted that this brings the total number of victims of famine and malnutrition to 303, including 117 children.
Since March 2, enemy forces have closed all crossings leading into Gaza, preventing humanitarian aid from entering. This has plunged the Strip into a state of famine despite relief trucks being piled up at its borders. Only very limited quantities of aid that do not meet the minimum needs of the starving population are being allowed in.
