Over one million people in Gaza suffer from malnutrition: Palestinian Health Ministry

GAZA, Feb. 25 (YPA) – Over a million people in Gaza suffering from malnutrition, while the Zionist occupation insists on not delivering medical supplies and fuel to the northern Strip.

Palestinian Ministry of Health spokesman Dr. Ashraf Al-Qudra said on Saturday in a statement that the medical sector is completely unable to provide medical care in northern Gaza due to lack of capabilities.

Al-Qudra pointed out that 150 medical institutions have been destroyed by the occupation and 32 hospitals put out of service, while the remaining three already overcrowded hospitals in Rafah are unable to provide medical care.

He called on international institutions to urgently intervene to save the health situation in the Gaza Strip.

The number of martyrs and wounded have been increased since the start of the aggression on the Strip on Oct. 7, the spokesman added.

At least 29,606 Palestinians have been martyred as a result of the ongoing Zionist aggression against Gaza, in addition to 69,737 others have been injured, since last October 7, and thousands are still under the rubble, according to the spokesman’s statement.
