At least 10 children died from malnutrition at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza city, the UN Children’s Agency said. “These tragic and horrific deaths are man-made, predictable, and entirely preventable,” said Adele Khodr, Unicef regional director for the Middle East and North Africa. “The widespread lack of nutritious food, safe water and medical services, a direct consequence of the impediments to access and multiple dangers facing UN humanitarian operations, is impacting children and mothers, hindering their ability to breastfeed their babies, especially in the northern Gaza Strip,” she added.
