Eleven more people have died from malnutrition and starvation in the last 24 hours, bringing the total figure since the start of the Gaza war to 300, UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric says during a briefing, citing the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry.
Updating reporters on developments in Gaza, Dujarric says roughly 5,000 people have been displaced from northern Gaza to Deir al-Balah in the central Strip and Khan Younis in the South since August 20. He adds that some 8,000 others have been displaced to the west of Gaza City, bringing the total number of new displacements since the end of the ceasefire in mid-March to more than 800,000.
Dujarric claims that Israeli authorities continue to inhibit the delivery of humanitarian aid throughout Gaza, denying or impeding eight of 15 UN missions to transport assistance over the past 24 hours.
Moreover, UN partners have reported that several education facilities, which are also used as shelters, were attacked last week, Dujarric says.

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.
