GAZA, July 27, 2025 (WAFA) – Medical sources at Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat confirmed this morning the death of 10-year-old Nour Abu Sel'a due to starvation and severe malnutrition. Her death brings the total number of child fatalities in Gaza from hunger-related causes to 86.

According to hospital staff, the overall death toll from starvation in the besieged Gaza Strip has now reached 128. These figures are attributed to malnutrition caused by the ongoing Israeli siege on the enclave.

Hospitals across Gaza continue to receive increasing numbers of cases related to hunger and malnutrition. Health officials report that 900,000 children in Gaza are currently suffering from hunger, with 70,000 having progressed to a stage of clinical malnutrition.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) recently warned that the rate of malnutrition among children under the age of five has doubled between March and June, citing the ongoing Israeli blockade as the primary cause of the worsening humanitarian crisis.
