Three more Gazans have died due to malnutrition or starvation in the past 24 hours, according the Hamas-run health ministry in the Strip, bringing the total of such deaths since the beginning of the war to 303, including 117 children.
UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric, who cites the figure during a daily press briefing, says that Palestinians living in Gaza City’s Ad Daraj and Ash Sheikh Radwan neighborhoods have been ordered to evacuate, raising the total number of displaced people from northern Gaza since August 14 to 36,200.
Dujarric says Gaza hospitals are warning of a severe shortage of blood units. “With many patients critically injured by hostilities, more blood is needed to save lives, yet community donations have plummeted due to famine and malnutrition,” he says.
The UN spokesperson says six of the 12 UN missions to transfer humanitarian aid through Gaza yesterday were either canceled or only partially accomplished due to Israeli restrictions.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
