UN says more than 10,000 children in Gaza city have acute malnutrition

More than 10,000 children need treatment for acute malnutrition in Gaza city, where the Israeli army launched a major ground offensive on Tuesday, the UN Children's Fund (Unicef) reported. "The forced and massive displacement of families from Gaza city is a deadly threat to the most vulnerable," said Tess Ingram, a Unicef spokeswoman in southern Gaza's Al Mawasi zone. Ms Ingram told journalists at a televised UN press briefing in Geneva that rates of child malnutrition are worsening.
