UNICEF warns of famine risk in Gaza

UNICEF has warned that Gaza faces a growing risk of famine, with one in three people going days without food. Over 320,000 children are at risk of acute malnutrition, surpassing famine thresholds, according to Al Jazeera.

“This is a life-or-death moment for thousands of children,” said UNICEF’s Ted Chaiban, urging immediate global action.

On Saturday, a 17-year-old boy died from malnutrition at al-Shifa Hospital. Gaza’s Health Ministry reports 162 starvation-related deaths so far, including 92 children, Al Jazeera reported.
