Gaza Blockade Intensifies Humanitarian Crisis: Hospitals Struggle to Feed Patients

The ongoing Israeli blockade on Gaza, impacting food and aid distribution, has led to widespread malnutrition. As hospitals struggle to feed patients, families bring whatever food they can find. Aid groups warn of rising starvation, with essential resources depleting rapidly and local agriculture devastated.

A severe humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Gaza, where an ongoing Israeli blockade is exacerbating food shortages and malnutrition. Hospitals, unable to provide for their patients, rely on families to supply meager meals.

Dr. Khaled Alserr notes an alarming rise in patient malnutrition as Israel's restrictions on supplies continue. Soaring prices and dwindling resources have left most households struggling.

The United Nations estimates tens of thousands of vulnerable people face acute malnutrition. Aid groups and NGOs are calling for immediate international intervention as local and international aid distribution falters.
