Two babies were martyred in the Gaza Strip on Thursday evening due to severe malnutrition and the ongoing shortage of baby formula, amid the continued Israeli siege and aggression on the enclave.

According to local sources, the families of the infants laid them to rest after their bodies were transferred from Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. They were actively starved by the Israeli occupation and its suffocating blockade, and died after being deprived of the most basic necessities of nutrition and healthcare.

Medical sources in Gaza have been warning of an imminent humanitarian and health catastrophe threatening the lives of thousands of infants due to a drastic shortage of food and essential medicines, as the Israeli occupation continues to block aid shipments into the besieged territory.

The sources confirmed that the number of Palestinians who have died as a result of starvation and lack of medical supplies has risen to 244 martyrs, most of them children and elderly individuals, amid the suffocating blockade on vital aid.

Gaza death toll surpasses 56,000

The latest updated toll by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on Thursday reported that 103 Palestinians were killed and 219 injured in the past 24 hours alone. Since October 7, 2023, the total death toll has reached 56,259 martyrs and 132,458 wounded.

The ministry also warned of a rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in displacement camps and shelter centers, where civilians are enduring catastrophic health and environmental conditions due to the lack of food, clean water, and basic hygiene supplies. The spread of infectious diseases has intensified due to extreme heat and a collapse in sanitation infrastructure.

This comes amid the systematic and deliberate targeting of starving Palestinians, including children, at humanitarian aid distribution sites, as well as public markets. 

The Israeli occupation carried out a deadly strike in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, on Thursday, targeting Palestinian police officers attempting to regulate flour prices and manage public markets amid a large civilian crowd. The aggression resulted in the martyrdom of 17 people and left dozens injured.
