The World Health Organization says malnutrition in Gaza has reached “alarming levels,” with aid falling short despite a partial pause in Israeli military operations, BBC reported.
Jordan and the UAE airdropped 25 tonnes of aid on Sunday, and over 100 trucks entered Gaza. The UN welcomed the move but warned it’s not enough to prevent famine.
Despite the pause, nine people were reportedly killed near an aid route. Israel denied targeting civilians, claiming it only fired warning shots.
The UN says a third of Gaza’s population goes days without food, and a quarter face famine-like conditions. Over 100 deaths from malnutrition have been reported, according to BBC.
While Israel insists it allows aid, the UN cites ongoing restrictions. Locals remain doubtful the temporary pause will ease the crisis.
