The Gaza Strip recorded the highest monthly number of acute malnutrition cases in children, with deaths due to hunger increasing in the Palestinian enclave, the general manager of the World Health Organization said today. “In July, nearly 12,000 children under the age of five were diagnosed with acute malnutrition in Gaza, the highest monthly number ever recorded, Tedros Antanom Gembeges said from the Organization’s headquarters in Geneva. About 2,500 of these children suffer from acute malnutrition, according to WHO. At least 99 people have died, including 64 adults and 35 children, among the 29 under 5 years, from the beginning of this year until July 29, Tedros added. “The total volume of food supplies remains completely inadequate to prevent further deterioration. There must be supplies to the grocery stores. There must be nutritional diversity, “said Rick Peppercorn, a spokesman for the occupied Palestinian territories, speaking through a video call.
