Human Rights Watch reports that the Israeli government is deliberately obstructing food aid, leading to malnutrition and dehydration among children in the Gaza Strip.
The Israel i government is starving children to death in the Gaza Strip with its deliberate and systematic obstruction of food aid, Human Rights Watch said in a report released Tuesday, citing firsthand accounts from doctors and families in the besieged enclave. At least 32 people, including 28 children, have died of malnutrition and dehydration so far in northern Gaza, which is facing famine conditions due to Israel 's illegal blockade.
According to one recent analysis, over 2% of Gaza's child population—nearly 26,000 kids—has been killed or wounded during the assault, with at least 1,000 children losing one or both of their legs. The war has also taken a devastating psychological toll on Gaza's kids, many of whom have been displaced repeatedly and seen family members maimed or killed by Israeli bombs.
