Since Israel’s offensive led to a security breakdown in Gaza that has made it nearly impossible to safely deliver food to starving Palestinians, much of the limited aid entering is being hoarded by gangs and merchants and sold at exorbitant prices.

The Hamas-run ministry said the death toll has climbed to 60,034, with 145,870 others wounded. The deaths include 18,592 children and 9,782 women.

At least 46 Palestinians were killed in Israeli fire in the Gaza Strip since Tuesday evening, according to local hospitals

The Gaza health ministry says the figures for the last 24 hours take the overall toll of malnutrition deaths to 154 since 2023.
