As the crisis in Gaza Strip escalates, at least 66 Palestinian children have died from acute malnutrition since Israel's war and blockade on October 7, 2023. The Gaza Government Media Office, citing Quds News Network, has attributed the deaths to Israel's closure of border crossings and obstruction of essential supplies like baby formula and nutritional supplements. The office has accused Israel of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, using starvation as a weapon to exterminate civilians. The statement has also condemned the international community's silence on the matter, naming the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany as complicit in what it terms genocide. The Gaza Ministry of Health reports that at least 549 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,000 injured near aid distribution points since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began operations.
