GAZA, September 8, 2025 (WAFA) – Hospitals in the Gaza Strip recorded six deaths, including two children, due to famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours on Monday.

This brings the total number of deaths due to famine and malnutrition to 393, including 140 children.

Since the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) announcement, 115 deaths have been recorded, including 25 children.

It is worth noting that cases of malnutrition and famine are being taken at hospitals in Gaza at any moment. 900,000 children in Gaza are suffering from hunger, 70,000 of whom have entered a state of malnutrition.

It is worth noting that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) had warned that malnutrition among children under the age of five had doubled between March and June as a result of the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip.
