The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf Al-Qudra, announced today that 15 Palestinian children have died due to malnutrition and dehydration in Kamal Adwan Hospital north of Gaza. 

He further expressed concern over the lives and well-being of another six children in the Intensive Care Unit at Kamal Adwan Hospital who are also suffering from malnutrition, and dehydration amid the shutdown of the electric generator and oxygen adding burden to the already collapsed healthcare system. 

Israeli occupation airdropping aid to expand its starvation 

The Government Media Office in Gaza revealed that the famine in Gaza is further expanding, stressing that airdropping aid while turning a blind eye to facilitating its entrance by land is "useless" and only serves as a diversion from finding effective solutions for aid delivery.

It further stressed that this new method is "for show and useless", emphasizing that it conforms with the occupation's policy of starving Palestinians while buying them more time to extend the famine. 

The media office highlighted that such airdrop operations are really difficult in a densely populated area such as Gaza, adding that it puts the packages at high risk of damage and dropping in the sea. 

It also stated that the occupation's policy of shutting down the crossings to convoys of relief, supply, and food was a war crime.  

The media office added that 2.4 million Palestinians are suffering from severe malnutrition, mainly in the north of Gaza. 

UN expert says 'Israel' intentionally starving Palestinians: Guardian

The UN special rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri stated in an exclusive interview with The Guardian that "Israel" is deliberately starving Palestinians and should be held responsible for war crimes and genocide.

“There is no reason to intentionally block the passage of humanitarian aid or intentionally obliterate small-scale fishing vessels, greenhouses, and orchards in Gaza – other than to deny people access to food," Fakhri stated.

He further emphasized that “Intentionally depriving people of food is clearly a war crime. Israel has announced its intention to destroy the Palestinian people, in whole or in part, simply for being Palestinian. In my view as a UN human rights expert, this is now a situation of genocide. This means the State of Israel in its entirety is culpable and should be held accountable – not just individuals or this government, or that person."
