CAIRO, Egypt — Six more people died of starvation and malnutrition in Gaza over the past 24 hours, the Hamas-run Health Ministry says.

The new deaths raised the toll of those dying from what international humanitarian agencies say may be an unfolding famine to 175, including 93 children, since the war began, the ministry says.
