Palestinian Health Ministry: Death toll of famine and malnutrition rises to 147, including 88 children

GAZA, July 28 (YPA) – The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced, on Monday, the recording of 14 new deaths in the Strip’s hospitals during the past 24 hours as a result of famine and malnutrition, including two children exhausted by hunger.

In a brief statement, the ministry said: ”The total number of deaths from famine and malnutrition has risen to 147, including 88 children.”

Since March 2, the Zionist occupation has closed the Gaza crossings and completely prevented the entry of goods and aid, leading to an unprecedented outbreak of famine in the Strip, which has worsened in recent weeks.
