Gaza's Children Face Starvation: A Doctor's Warning

Gaza's Children Face Starvation Amidst Malnutrition Crisis GAZA CITY, June 2, 2025 — A severe malnutrition crisis is gripping Gaza, with over 600,000 children under the age of 10 at risk, according to Dr. Ahmad Al-Farra, Head of the Pediatrics Department at Nasser Medical Complex. "We are seeing the most severe grade of malnutrition," Dr. Al-Farra stated, referring to the widespread cases of marasmus, kwashiorkor, anemia, and depression among the affected children. Images from Gaza hospitals show infants suffering from severe weight loss and other symptoms of malnutrition. The closed borders and lack of food supplies are significantly worsening the situation. Dr. Al-Farra expressed concern that without immediate intervention, many more children could succumb to starvation. The crisis underscores the urgent need for international aid and support to address the humanitarian needs of Gaza's children.
