GAZA, July 25, 2025 (WAFA) – The number of Palestinians who have died as a result of the ongoing Israeli war of starvation in the Gaza Strip has risen to 122, following the death of nine more people in the past 24 hours, according to medical sources.

Among the victims of the ongoing starvation crisis caused by the Israeli blockade are 83 children, with the latest casualty being a child who died early Friday due to hunger and severe malnutrition.

Current estimates indicate that 900,000 children in the besieged enclave are suffering from hunger, with 70,000 having reached the stage of acute malnutrition.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) previously warned that malnutrition rates among children under the age of five have doubled between March and June this year. The agency attributes this alarming rise to the ongoing Israeli blockade, which has severely limited access to food, medical supplies, and humanitarian aid.

Human rights organizations and aid groups have sounded the alarm over the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza, urging immediate international intervention to end the blockade and deliver life-saving assistance to the population.
