PALESTINE – 14 more Palestinian deaths due to famine, including 2 children, were reported in the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours according medics on Monday.

“Hospitals recorded 14 new deaths in the past 24 hours due to famine and malnutrition, including two children who died of hunger,” the ministry said in a statement.

The new fatalities brought the death toll from starvation in Gaza since October 2023 to 147, including 88 children.

Israel has imposed a blockade on Gaza for 18 years, and since March 2 has shut down all crossings, worsening humanitarian conditions in the enclave.
