Malnutrition has reached 21.5% in Gaza City, meaning around one in five young children are suffering from malnutrition, Unrwa has said
Turkey’s president has said the “tragedy unfolding in Gaza” should be considered a “deepening humanitarian catastrophe that wounds the collective conscience of humanity with each passing day”.
Writing for Al Jazeera, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said cities in Gaza have been rendered “uninhabitable”, adding: “Homes, hospitals, schools, and places of worship have been reduced to rubble; essential services such as food, water, healthcare, and electricity have collapsed.”
He condemned the world’s “feeble responses” to the crisis in Gaza, which he said “stands before us as a litmus test of whether the international community is willing and able to uphold the most fundamental human values”.
Israel has repeatedly denied targeting Palestinian civilians, saying its strikes in Gaza seek to eliminate Hamas.
