Famine in Gaza: in the North, “people have nothing left to eat”. At least 20 people died of malnutrition and dehydration in Gaza, Hamas said on Wednesday.
90% of children aged 6 to 23 months, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women, face serious food shortages, says an alliance of NGOs led by Unicef and the Global Nutrition Cluster. According to the UN, famine, which corresponds to a state of extreme food deprivation, is "almost inevitable" for Gaza's 2.2 million inhabitants.
