Gaza City -The head of the Shiva Hospital in Gaza City said on Tuesday that 21 children have died across the Palestinian territories in the past three days “due to malnutrition and hunger.”

“These deaths have been registered in hospitals in Gaza, including the Shiva in Gaza City and a martyr hospital in Deir al -Illah and Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunus … over the past 72 hours,” Mohamed Abu Salia told reporters.

UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres warned Monday evening that “the last lifestyle that keeps people alive” in Gaza, and that there are increasing reports on children and adults who show symptoms of malnutrition.

Abu Salia told reporters that new malnutrition and starvation cases reach the remaining Gaza hospitals “every moment”, adding: “We are heading towards disturbing numbers of deaths due to the hunger that the people of Gaza causes.”

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the United Nations Office for Human Rights said that many people were arriving at Gaza Hospitals “in a state of extreme fatigue caused by lack of food. Others collapse in the streets. Many may die others who have not died … these delicious mortality, physical and psychological suffering caused by hunger are the result of Israel’s structures and tendency to the human tendency.”

The photos arising from Gaza in recent days showed children and infants who suffer from severe malnutrition, including some hospital workers that they died due to this condition. According to the National Institutes of Health, acute malnutrition usually causes symptoms including dramatic wasting, losing fat and muscles, poor blood circulation and severe fatigue.

“Hospitals are already soaked by the number of injuries resulting from the shooting,” said Khalil Al -Qarfan, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza. Decran said there are 600,000 people with malnutrition symptoms such as dehydration and anemia, including 60,000 pregnant women.

After talks to extend the ceasefire for six weeks, Israel imposed a full siege on Gaza on March 2 this year, allowing any assistance to allow trucks again to cross the border in late May. United Nations and aid organizations say the amount of food and other allowances permitted to Gaza since then have been largely insufficient.

Food stocks accumulated inside the Palestinian territories were exhausted during the ceasefire, leaving more than two million people suffering from the worst shortage since the beginning. The war ignited the terrorist attack led by Hamas On October 7, 2023. About 1,200 Israelis were killed and 251 others took hostage during this siege more than 650 days ago, and it is still believed that 20 prisoners are alive in Gaza.

The director of the World Food Program, Karl Skyau, who visited Gaza City in early July, described the situation as the “worst” he watched at all.

Last Sunday, the Civil Defense Agency in Hamas stated that at least three children were due to “severe hunger and malnutrition” during the previous week.

On Monday, the governments of 25 countries, including Israeli allies, the United States, Britain, France, Australia and Canada, And urge an immediate end to the warThe unconditional version of the Israeli hostages maintained by Hamas, and the free flow of help.

In their joint statement, they accused the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, backed by the United States, “draining with aid and humanitarian killing of civilians, including children” in Gaza.

Nations also condemned a new system for distributing aid -backed aid, which was launched in late May with the support of the Trump administration, but there is no support from other countries or humanitarian organizations.

The United Nations Human Rights Office said on Tuesday that the Israeli forces had killed more than 1,000 Palestinians trying to obtain food aid in Gaza since the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began its operations on May 26.

Officially, a special effort, GHF started working in Gaza-almost no information about its financing or management-after Israel imposed the siege of more than two months on all the supplies entering Gaza.

The operations of the group, which focused on four “humanitarian centers” to distribute food, were marred by chaotic scenes and almost daily reports on the Israeli forces calling people waiting to collect shares in the Palestinian territories, where the Israeli army is seeking to destroy Hamas.

As of July 21, we scored 1054 people who were killed in Gaza while trying to get food; 766 of them were Killed And 288 near the aid of other humanitarian organizations, the United Nations Human Rights Office spokesman said, “A spokesman for the United Nations Human Rights Office, the eighth Khuna, the news agency of Agence France -Presse. The agency’s data” is based on information from reliable sources on the ground, including medical teams, humanitarian organizations and human rights. “

GHF says it has distributed more than 1.4 million food boxes so far and that it adjusts its “actual time to keep people safe and enlightened, and we are ready to partner with other organizations to expand more meals to the people of Gaza.”

The United Nations and old aid groups refused to cooperate with GHF because of the concerns designed to meet the Israeli military targets and violate the basic humanitarian principles. The group never commented, although many questions from CBS News, on any links it links with American or Israeli governments.

The Trump administration announced its first general support for GHF – 30 million dollars in financing – earlier this month, and other organizations and countries called for cooperation with the group, saying that, from its point of view, it provides the only way to provide aid in Gaza without the risk of Hamas theft.
