One in 10 children screened in clinics run by the United Nations refugee agency in Gaza are malnourished, the agency said on Tuesday as it warned medical supplies are running out.
“Our health teams are confirming that malnutrition rates are increasing in Gaza, especially since the siege was tightened more than four months ago on the second of March,” UNRWA’s director of communications, Juliette Touma, said in a video briefing.
