Gaza hospitals report nine more deaths from starvation as Israel’s blockade plunges enclave into worsening crisis.

‘We don’t want words, we want actions’, Gaza-based journalist pleads

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are pleading for help as more people have starved to death under Israel’s unrelenting blockade of the coastal enclave.

The Gaza Health Ministry said in a statement on Friday that local hospitals recorded nine new malnutrition deaths in the previous 24 hours.

That brings the total number of such deaths to 122 since Israel’s war on Gaza began in October 2023, including at least 83 children.
