Palestinian citizens waiting to receive food from a social dining room in the midst of the famine crisis.

Eleven more people, including a child, have died this Friday in Gaza from "famine and malnutrition ", resulting in a total of 251 deaths since the beginning of the Israeli offensive in the Palestinian enclave in October 2023.

of the 251 deaths, 108 are children, according to data published this Saturday by the Gaza Ministry of Health.



Malnutrition deaths published by the Ministry of Health have increased in recent weeks, and humanitarian organizations have attributed this crisis to the total blockade imposed by Israel for 11 weeks - between 2 March and 19 May - which prevented the entry of food, medicine and fuel, and to the shortage that has since occurred. Under international pressure, Israel announced at the end of July "humanitarian breaks" on some routes to allow aid to enter, but local authorities have reported that much of the cargo is looted by citizens and armed groups before it is distributed.

According to humanitarian organizations, at least 500 trucks a day (about 25 tons each) should be put into the Strip to meet needs. However, according to official Israeli data, the day they entered between 50 and 100 in June, from humanitarian interruptions they began to enter 200 a day and now the figures are around  300 a day. In any case, the Gaza Government questions and significantly reduces these numbers.
