GAZA, July 28, 2025 (WAFA) – Medical sources at Al-Shifa Hospital announced the death of infant Mohammed Ibrahim Adas due to severe malnutrition and a lack of infant formula in the Gaza Strip.
The Gaza Strip is seeing a severe humanitarian crisis due to the ongoing blockade imposed by the Israeli occupation forces. This brings the total number of deaths from famine and malnutrition to 134, including 88 children.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) warned that malnutrition among children under the age of five doubled between March and June as a result of the ongoing blockade.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization confirmed that malnutrition rates in Gaza have reached alarming levels, and that the deliberate blockade and delays in aid have caused many deaths. Nearly one in five children under the age of five in Gaza City suffer from severe malnutrition.
