At least 113 people in Gaza have died from mass hunger since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Thursday, as international organizations warn that the humanitarian catastrophe is deepening.
The latest figure includes two deaths in the past 24 hours, officials said. Among the dead are 81 children. The Health Ministry also reported more than 28,000 cases of malnutrition in Gaza, with over 5,000 cases recorded in July alone. The data could not be independently verified.
