The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a stark warning regarding the escalating health crisis in Gaza, where an increasing number of children, including newborns, are on the brink of death due to acute hunger and malnutrition, with some newborns dying because of low birth weight. This dire situation is largely attributed to five months of intense Israeli bombardment of Gaza, coupled with Israel's consistent limitations on aid deliveries, leading to starvation. Hospital wards in Gaza are reportedly filled with starving children, as famine looms over the region. WHO's concerns are further amplified by the blockade of thousands of trucks carrying essential supplies at Rafah, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom has made a public appeal to Israel, urging the facilitation of more aid into Gaza to address the urgent needs of the affected children.
