Nutrition vulnerability and situation analysis in Gaza

An analysis by Global Nutrition Cluster reveals a significant increase in factors contributing to malnutrition in Gaza, caused by the Israeli occupation's refusal to allow aid trucks into the Strip, including the lack of diet diversity, deteriorating infant and young child feeding practices, lack of access to safe water and sanitation, widespread disease, and a collapsed health system. These challenges pose grave risks to the most susceptible to malnutrition, particularly young children, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women. The study reflects a deteriorating nutritional landscape for women and children across Gaza, particularly in Northern Gaza and Rafah. Photo Credits: Belal Khaled
