The Palestinian Authority’s government communications center posts footage of what it says is a Palestinian infant suffering from malnutrition in northern Gaza, where Israel has granted severely limited access to humanitarian aid.

Aid groups say new mothers in the Strip have had a difficult time breast-feeding because they, too, are suffering from malnutrition. Accordingly, the enclave is in desperate need of baby formula.

While Israel has been allowing aid over the past month after a 78-day blockade, it amounts to just 56 trucks per day on average, with half of that being Gaza Humanitarian Foundation assistance, which doesn’t include baby formula.
