Mohammad's martyrdom raises the death toll resulting from malnutrition and starvation after it previously stood at 32 as per the World Health Organization's documentation, which includes 28 children under the age of five.

On Wednesday, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus explained that a significant portion of Gaza now faces "catastrophic hunger and famine-like conditions. Despite reports of increased delivery of food, there is currently no evidence that those who need it most are receiving sufficient quantity and quality of food."

The chief added that the WHO and partners have ramped up nutrition services.

200K children showing symptoms of malnutrition in North Gaza

Approximately 50 children are experiencing malnutrition and starvation in the northern area of the region due to the Israeli total blockade on Gaza, as per a Sunday statement by Husam Abu Safiya, the director of Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital.

"Around 50 children suffering from malnutrition have been counted in just one week, and the specter of famine looms over Gaza,” the statement read.

He further noted that at least 200,000 Palestinian children have shown symptoms of malnutrition. 

"The health system in Gaza is a target of the [Israeli] occupation, but we are trying to resume medical services at a minimum despite fuel shortages," it added.

The director of Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital also cautioned that the situation across the territory is dire, with Israeli forces blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid by closing Gaza's major crossings, notably Rafah and Karem Abu Salem.
