There were 600 trucks a day entering Gaza, both humanitarian and commercial, and that was adequate to meet the basic needs in Gaza. That stopped on March 2 and since mid-May, it’s been a drip feed of humanitarian supplies, including flour, food, and other essential life-sustaining supplies.

The Hamas-run Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip said in a Monday statement that another 14 people died of malnutrition over the previous 24 hours.

Malnutrition is on a dangerous trajectory in the Gaza Strip, marked by a spike in deaths in July.

The World Health Organization said on Wednesday it was seeing a deadly surge in malnutrition in Gaza that has led to the deaths of 21 children under five so far in 2025. Malnutrition centers are full without sufficient supplies for emergency feeding,

Over 113 in Gaza have died from famine and malnutrition amid war, siege, and collapsing humanitarian aid routes.
