٠٠:٠٥:٠١At least 15 children reportedly lost their lives at Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya in recent days due to malnutrition and dehydration, according to Gaza's Ministry of Health.
"Recently, we received children suffering from severe dehydration and malnutrition, and yesterday in particular, we witnessed about 13 deaths due to malnutrition," said Dr Ahmad Al-Kahlout, head of the Care and Nursery ward.
"There is shortage of everything including food, milk and diapers, and there is no medicine or electricity as you can see. […] My girl depends on oxygen to survive, and I might lose her if it is cut off," said the mother of one girl who was receiving treatment.
Footage filmed on Sunday features babies in incubators as well as others seen being treated on hospital beds. Medical staff were also seen marking body bags with the names of deceased children.
UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell warned that 'one out of six children under the age of two in northern Gaza are acutely malnourished'.
"Severe malnutrition can be deadly or leave young children with permanent cognitive and physical damage. For children in Gaza, every minute counts in safely accessing nutrition, water, medical care & protection from bullets and bombs," she added on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Fighting continues in Gaza in the fifth month of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7, killing 1,139 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping over 200, according to Israeli officials. Israel declared war on the group and a 'complete siege' of Gaza, with a large-scale campaign of air strikes.
A ground incursion began at the end of the third week, with Israeli leaders vowing to 'wipe out' Hamas. Palestinian officials reported that more than 30,000 people had been killed at the time of publication.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) claimed that Hamas locations and infrastructure were targeted in the response. However, United Nations experts warned against 'collective punishment' for the people of Gaza, before predicting a 'humanitarian crisis' and then claimed that 'hell is settling in' for the region.
