PALESTINE – Gaza Strip famine death toll has risen to 175 after 6 more Palestinians died of starvation and malnutrition in the last 24 hours according to local health ministry on Sunday.

In a statement, the ministry confirmed that the total number of people who have died from starvation had now risen to 175, including 93 children.

Access to food, water, and medical supplies remains severely limited in the enclave due to an ongoing Israeli blockade, and poor distribution of aid by the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
