Child Malnutrition in Gaza – A Silently Worsening Crisis Under the ongoing blockade and economic and humanitarian collapse, thousands of children in the Gaza Strip suffer from malnutrition due to malnutrition, a lack of food diversity, and inadequate healthcare. Malnutrition is not just hunger; it also extends to: Severe wasting and delayed physical and mental development. Weakened immunity and recurrent illness. Anemia and deficiency of essential vitamins. Malnourished children face a heightened risk of illness or injury, making early intervention a humanitarian and ethical imperative.
