The UN’s child rights agency (UNICEF) has shared the story of Osama, 5, who is severely malnourished amid Israel’s near-total blockade on the enclave.
“He now weighs only 5 kgs, dangerously below the healthy weight for his age,” UNICEF said in a post on X. “Osama is being treated at Nasser Hospital but his full recovery depends on sufficient nutrition and follow-up care – both of which are at risk.”
The UN said earlier this month that more than 2,700 Palestinian children were suffering from acute malnutrition in Gaza.
