Gaza Starvation Kills Another 5 Palestinians, Death Toll at 404

PALESTINE – Five more Palestinians died in the last 24 hours from Gaza starvation as the enclave suffers from famine and Israeli blockade according to the health ministry on Wednesday.

The new fatalities brought the famine-related deaths since October 2023 to 404, including 141 children, the ministry said in a statement.

According to the ministry, 126 of the deaths, 26 of them children, occurred after the UN-backed hunger monitoring system Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) formally declared Gaza a famine zone last month.

Since March 2, Israeli authorities have completely closed all Gaza border crossings, pushing the territory’s 2.4 million population into famine.
