The World Health Organization has raised concerns about the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, with a particular focus on the alarming number of infants facing acute hunger. According to WHO spokesperson Dr. Margaret Harris, medical professionals in the region are witnessing a disturbing trend of newborn babies succumbing to starvation due to dangerously low birth weights.
Dr. Harris emphasized that the dire circumstances in Gaza are entirely man-made, pointing out that the territory once had a well-functioning health system. However, the current crisis has led to a surge in malnourished pregnant women and young children who are especially vulnerable to the effects of chronic hunger.
